bdelliumn.

Brit.

/ˈdɛlɪəm/, U.S.

/ˈ(b)dɛliəm/

Forms: Middle English bidellium, bdelyum, bdellyum, 1500s bedellion, 1500s–1600s bdelium, 1500s– bdellium.

Etymology: < Latin bdellium (Vulgate), < Greek βδέλλιον (according to Dioscorides and Pliny, a plant, and the fragrant gum exuded by it: see senses 1, 2); used in the Greek versions later than the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew b'dōlakh, which Josephus also rendered βδέλλα. The Greek word is evidently of eastern origin, but whether it has any relation either of etymology or sense with the Hebrew is uncertain, as is also the meaning and origin of the latter, which the Septuagint had rendered in Genesis by ἄνθραξ ‘carbuncle,’ and in Numbers by κρύσταλλος ‘crystal’: the Rabbins and Bochart explain it as meaning ‘pearl, pearls.’

1. The name given to several trees or shrubs of the family Amyridaceæ, chiefly of the genus Balsamodendron, from which exudes a kind of gum resin resembling impure myrrh, of pungent taste and agreeable odour, used in medicine and as a perfume.
