单词 hartwort
释义

hartwortn.

Brit. /ˈhɑːtwəːt/, U.S. /ˈhɑrtˌwərt/, /ˈhɑrtˌwɔrt/
Forms: 1500s hartewoort, 1500s hartwurt, 1500s–1600s hartwoort, 1600s hartwort, 1600s heartwort.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: hart n., wort n.1
Etymology: < hart n. + wort n.1, after early modern German hirtzwurtz (1552 or earlier). Compare Dutch hertwortel (1550 or earlier) and post-classical Latin cervina radix (1587 or earlier).The semantic motivation may reflect a tradition dating back at least to Pliny that the female deer eats the seseli plant to ease pains in labour. (Aristotle refers to the deer eating seseli immediately after childbirth.) For references to this in English, compare:1601 P. Holland tr. Pliny Hist. World I. viii. xxxii. 213 The Hinds before they calve, purge themselves with the hearbe Seselis or Siler-mountaine, whereby they have lesse paine in their bearing, and more speedie and easie deliverance.1640 J. Parkinson Theatrum Botanicum 908 Pliny saith that women use it before their delivery of child (being taught by Hindes that eate Seseli's to speede their delivery, as Aristotle did declare it before). Compare also heartwort n.
Originally: any of various umbelliferous plants used medicinally; esp. the herbaceous plants Laserpitium latifolium, L. siser, Seseli tortuosum, and Levisticum officinale, and the shrub Bupleurum fruticosum. In later use: spec. any member of the genus Tordylium (family Apiaceae ( Umbelliferae)), comprising herbaceous plants native to southern Europe (and grown or occasionally naturalized elsewhere); esp. (more fully great hartwort) T. maximum.Originally applied mainly to plants known to 16th and 17th century herbalists by the Latin name of seseli (now redistributed to many modern genera).small hartwort: see the first element. See also Marseilles hartwort n., hartwort of Marseilles at Marseilles n. 1a.
