hempn.

Brit.

/hɛmp/, U.S.

/hɛmp/

Forms: Old English hænep, henep, Middle English– hemp, (Middle English–1600s hempe, 1500s hemppe).

Etymology: Old English hęnep, hænep = Old Low German *hanap, *hanip, Middle Dutch and Dutch hennep, Low German hemp, Old High German hanaf, -if, -uf (Middle High German hanef, German hanf), Old Norse hampr (Swedish hampa, Danish hamp) < Old Germanic *hanpi-z, *hanapi-z, cognate with Greek κάνναβις, Latin cannabis: compare also Lithuanian kanapés, Old Church Slavonic konoplja, Persian kanab. The word is perhaps not Aryan, but adopted in Greek, Germanic, etc. from some common source.

1. An annual herbaceous plant, Cannabis sativa, N.O. Urticaceæ, a native of Western and central Asia, cultivated for its valuable fibre.It is a dioecious plant, of which the female is more vigorous and long-lived than the male, whence the sexes were popularly mistaken, and the female called carl hemp or winter hemp, the male fimble hemp (i.e. female), barren hemp, or summer hemp: see carl hemp n. and fimble n.¹The quotations from the Saxon Leechdoms appear to refer to some wild British plant, perhaps the wild hemp of 5.
