mezereonn.

Brit.

/mᵻˈzɪərɪən/, U.S.

/məˈzɪriən/

Forms: late Middle English mizerion, 1500s messeron, 1500s– mezereon, 1600s mezeron, 1600s–1700s mezerion, 1700s–1800s mazerion, 1700s–1800s mesereon.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mezereon.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin mezereon (14th cent. in a British source) < Arabic māzariyūn , perhaps < Persian māzaryūn or a similar form in another Iranian language. In sense 2 after post-classical Latin cortex mezerei.The word was borrowed into post-classical Latin from medieval Arabic medical writings; the Arabic word is given by Ḥunayn bin Isḥāq (9th cent.) in a translation of Dioscorides (see materia medica n.) as equivalent to Hellenistic Greek χαμελαία. Compare Italian mezereo (1499), Middle French, French mézéreon (1538), Spanish mecereón (1611).

An early-flowering, low-growing woodland shrub, Daphne mezereum (family Thymelaeaceae), native to Europe and Asia and widely cultivated as a garden plant, with olive-like foliage, fragrant purplish or rose-coloured flowers, and poisonous red berries; formerly also †Dutch mezereon. Occasionally also (with distinguishing word): any of several other plants of the genus Daphne, or of the related North American genus Dirca. Formerly also: †a Mediterranean shrub with yellow flowers and red berries, Cneorum tricoccon (family Cneoraceae) (obsolete).
