单词 herb paris
释义

herb Parisn.

Etymology: < medieval Latin herba paris; in French herbe à Paris , parisette . The origin of the name is obscure; some explain paris as the genitive of Latin par ‘equal, a mate, a pair’, in reference to the regularity of its leaves and flowers (see quot. 1864); others refer it to the Trojan Paris.
A general book-name for Paris quadrifolia (N.O. Trilliaceæ), also called True-love, a dictyogenous plant found in moist woods, bearing a single greenish flower at the top of the stem, and just beneath it four large ovate leaves in the form of a cross.
