/ˈmʌnɪwəːt/, U.S.

/ˈməniwərt/,

/ˈməniˌwɔrt/

Forms: see money n. and wort n.¹

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: money n., wort n.¹

Etymology: < money n. + wort n.¹, after post-classical Latin nummularia (1545), alteration of classical Latin nummulus a weed of meadows ( < nummus coin (see nummi- comb. form), with reference to the supposed resemblance of the plant's rounded leaves to coins).

A plant of the primrose family, Lysimachia nummularia, with glossy round leaves, yellow flowers, and a low creeping habit, which is native to damp meadows and moist woods in Europe and often grown elsewhere; also called creeping jenny. Also, usually with distinguishing word: any of several other plants which have similar round leaves, or (rare) are related to L. nummularia.The reason for the use of the name in quot. 1785 is unclear, as this plant has narrow leaves.bastard, Cornish, purple-flowered moneywort: see the first element.
