单词 hazelwort
释义

hazelwortn.

Brit. /ˈheɪzlwəːt/, /ˈheɪzlwɔːt/, U.S. /ˈheɪzəlˌwərt/, /ˈheɪzəlˌwɔrt/
Forms: see hazel n. and adj. and wort n.1
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Saxon hasalwurt (Middle Low German hāselwort ), Old High German hasalwurz (Middle High German haselwurz , German Haselwurz ), Swedish hasselört (c1550), Old Danish haselyrd (Danish hasselurt ) < the Germanic base of hazel n. + the Germanic base of wort n.1; probably so called on account of the resemblance of the calyx to the involucre of a hazelnut (although compare quot. 1551 for a different explanation). Compare also Middle Dutch hāselwortel (1477 in Teuthonista; early modern Dutch hazelwortel).The naturalist, William Turner, apparently following a German tradition, suggests an alternative motivation for the formation:1551 W. Turner New Herball sig. Eijv Asarum is called..in english folfote..and asarabacca in duche hasell wurt: because it groweth abowte hasell tree rootes.
Asarabacca, Asarum europaeum, which has purplish-brown flowers and petiolate leaves.The identity of the plants in quots. lOE and ?a1425 is unclear; although ostensibly glossing Latin viola ‘violet’, it seems likely that asarabacca (which has a superficial resemblance to some species of violet) is meant.
