† evenlestenn.

Forms: Old English efelaste, Old English efenlaste, early Middle English euenlesten.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: even adv., last v.¹

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < even adv. + last v.¹In Old English a weak feminine. This suggests that the second element may be a feminine agent noun, but if it shows the base of last v.¹, the vowel of the Old English forms lacks the expected i-mutation. The plant name is occasionally glossed as ‘everlasting’, but this translation is originally based on the erroneous identification with everlasting flower n. at everlasting adj., n., and adv. Compounds (compare everlasting n. 2) by T. O. Cockayne in Leechdoms, Wortcunning, & Starcraft (1866) iii. 323/2.

Obsolete.

A plant used in herbal medicine (perhaps dog's mercury, Mercurialis perennis, or annual mercury, M. annua).
