Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin artemisia; French artemesie.
Etymology: Originally < classical Latin artemisia (in post-classical Latin also artemesia, arthemesia, arthemasia, artimatia: see below); subsequently reinforced by Anglo-Norman, artemesie, arthemesie mugwort (13th cent.; also artemese , artemeise ) < classical Latin artemisia one or more species of Artemisia, wormwood or mugwort < Hellenistic Greek ἀρτεμισία < ancient Greek Ἄρτεμις , the name of the goddess Artemis or (in Roman mythology) Diana, so called on account of the association of Artemis with childbirth and the gynaecological use of the plant + -ία -ia suffix1.In Old English (and occasionally in early Middle English) used with Latin case inflections (compare quots. OE1, OE2).
Originally: the medicinal plant mugwort ( Artemisia vulgaris); (also) any of several other medicinal composite plants with aromatic foliage. In later use: any plant of the genus Artemisia (family Asteraceae ( Compositae)), the members of which are herbs and shrubs native esp. to north temperate regions, typically having strongly aromatic, finely divided greyish leaves and small heads of yellow or greenish flowers, and including a number of species used medicinally and as flavouring agents. Also (in form Artemisia): the genus itself.Other well-known members of the genus are common wormwood, A. absinthium; southernwood, A. abrotanum; and tarragon, A. dracunculus.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species plantarum (1753) II. 845.
