feverfewn.

Brit.

/ˈfiːvəfjuː/, U.S.

/ˈfivərˌfju/

Forms:

α. Old English feferfuge, Old English feferfugia (rare), Old English feferfugiæ (rare), Old English feferfugie, Old English feferfuige, Old English feuerfuge (rare), late Old English feuerfugie, late Middle English–1500s feuerfue, 1600s feverfue; N.E.D. (1895) also records a form late Middle English fevyrfue.

β. Middle English fefyrfoy, Middle English feverfoy, Middle English fevirfoie.

γ. Middle English feverfewe, Middle English fevyrfew, Middle English–1600s feuerfew, Middle English– feverfew, 1500s fevyrfewe, 1500s fewerfew, 1600s feaverfew.

δ. Scottish pre-1700 feverfoylie, pre-1700 feverfoyly, 1800s feverfoullie.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin febrifuga.

Etymology: Originally < post-classical Latin febrifuga (also febrifugia) common centaury, Centaurium erythraea (4th cent.: see below), with alteration of the first element after Old English fefer fever n.¹ Subsequently influenced by Anglo-Norman fevrefeue, febrefiue , ferverfoil , etc. (late 12th cent.), itself borrowed < the Old English word or its early Middle English reflex. Compare later featherfew n., and also febrifuge n.Post-classical Latin febrifuga is < classical Latin febri- , combining form of febris fever (see febrile adj.) + fugāre to drive away (see fugate v.), being so named with reference to the medicinal use of the plant to lower fever. The word shows considerable variation of form both in English and in Anglo-Norman. The details of these developments are sometimes difficult to trace. Some of the form types of the second element are attested earlier for featherfew n., which shows early alteration of the first element. With Anglo-Norman forms such as fevrefuie , feverefui , compare Anglo-Norman fevre , etc. (see fever n.¹) and fuie flight (compare fewe n.). The vowel of the second element in the γ. forms and perhaps also in later examples of the α. forms of the English word appears to reflect Anglo-Norman formal developments. With the δ. forms compare Anglo-Norman forms such as ferverfoil , feverfoil , feverefoil (from late 12th cent.). These show alteration after foil leaf (see foil n.¹). Compare the δ. forms at featherfew n. With the β. forms compare the α. forms at featherfew n. N.E.D. (1895) gives an alternative pronunciation of the first syllable as (fe·v-) /ˈfɛv-/.

1. A strongly scented perennial plant having pinnately cut leaves and daisy-like flowers with white ray and yellow disc florets, Tanacetum parthenium (family Asteraceae ( Compositae)), used medicinally for a variety of purposes including the treatment of fevers; (also) any medicinal preparation made from this plant (also attributive). In early use also: †any of several other plants used in the treatment of fevers, spec. common centaury, Centaurium erythraea (obsolete).Also called featherfew.
