† lady's tracesn.

Forms:

α. 1500s ladie traces, 1500s–1700s lady traces.

β. 1500s–1800s lady's traces, 1600s–1800s ladies traces, 1800s ladies' traces.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: lady n., trace n.³

Etymology: In α. forms < lady n. + the plural of trace n.³, perhaps originally reflecting a genitive compound with unmarked first element (see discussion at lady n.); so called on account of the supposed resemblance of the twisted flower spike to plaited long hair. In β. forms < the genitive of lady n. + the plural of trace n.³, although the first element is sometimes apprehended as plural. Compare later lady's tresses n.

Obsolete.

Any of various European orchids, esp. of the genus Spiranthes (= lady's tresses n. 1). Frequently with distinguishing word.
