Brit.

/ˈʌɪvi/, U.S.

/ˈaɪvi/

Forms: Plural ivies

/ˈaɪvɪz/. Forms: α. Old English ífig, ýfig, Middle English ivi, yve, yvi, yvy, Middle English–1500s ivye, Middle English–1600s ivie, 1500s yvie, ( ive), 1600s yvye, Middle English– ivy. β. Old English ífegn, Middle English iven, iwen, iwyn, 1500s yven, 1800s dialect ivin, ( hivin), ivvens. γ. 1800s dialect ivory, ivery, iv'ry.

Etymology: Old English ífig, obscurely related to Old High German ebahęwi, ebawi, ebah, Middle High German ebe-höu, ep-höu, early modern German (1561) æbhöuw, German ep-heu (1600), epheu (1669), Middle Low German îflôf, Low German eiloof. The first element of these appears to be an Old Germanic *ῑba, of which no cognates are known. The second element in Old High German is apparently hęwi, Middle High German höu, German heu hay; Kluge suggests that Old English ífig may similarly go back to an earlier ῑf-heg. But no explanation appears of the connection with ‘hay’.

a. A well-known climbing evergreen shrub ( Hedera Helix), indigenous to Europe and parts of Asia and Africa, having dark-green shining leaves, usually five-angled, and bearing umbels of greenish-yellow flowers, succeeded by dark berries; it is a favourite ornamental covering of walls, old buildings, ruins, etc. The plant was anciently sacred to Bacchus. barren, creeping, small ivy (formerly also earth-ivy, and ground-ivy n. 2): a small, creeping, flowerless variety growing on hedgebanks. black, English ivy: the common ivy, also termed H. nigra, from its black berries. Queensland ivy, an Australian species having pinnate leaves. variegated ivy, a variety having variegated leaves.
