Fritillarian.

/frɪtɪˈlɛːrɪə/

Forms: Also 1600s frit(t)ell-.

Etymology: < modern Latin fritillāria, < fritillus dice-box. According to Clusius Rariorum aliquot Stirpium per Pannon. etc. observ. Hist. (1583) 172, the name was given by Noel Capperon, a druggist of Orleans, to the Common Fritillary, ‘quod ejus areolæ versicolores fritillum quodam-modo æmulentur’. Unless this refers to some chequered pattern with which dice-boxes were painted, Gerarde's explanation below would seem to be correct, though the Latin dictionaries of the 16th cent. and still earlier give the correct explanation of fritillus. In any case the name refers to the chequered markings of the corolla, not to its shape as is usually stated.

A genus of liliaceous plants, the best known species of which are the crown imperial n. ( F. imperialis), and the Common Fritillary or Snakeshead ( F. Meleagris) found locally in moist meadows.
