单词 feltrike
释义

feltriken.

Etymology: Of obscure formation; probably a corruption of the Latin name fel terrae ‘gall of the earth’, given to the plant on account of its bitterness and perhaps also its yellow colour.
Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.
= earth-gall n.; probably the Yellow Centaury ( Chlora perfoliata).The name earth-gall appears to have been sometimes applied also to the Lesser Centaury ( Erythræa centaureum), and perhaps to other gentianaceous plants.
