nenupharn.

Brit.

/ˈnɛnjᵿfɑː/, U.S.

/ˈnɛnjəˌfɑr/

Forms: late Middle English nemyfor (transmission error), late Middle English nenufare, late Middle English 1600s nenufer, late Middle English–1700s nenufar, late Middle English– nenuphar, 1500s nenufara, 1500s nenufarre, 1500s nunefar (transmission error), 1500s–1600s nemiphar (transmission error), 1600s nemphar (transmission error), 1600s nenewhare (transmission error), 1600s nenuwhur (transmission error).

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin nenufar water lily (from c1200 in British sources; also in forms nemifer , neniphar ) < Arabic naynūfar (also as nīnūfar ), probably transmission error for nīlūfar (see below) < Persian nīlūfar , nīlūpar , also nīlūfal , nīlūpal (compare Zoroastrian Pahlavi nīlōpal ) < Sanskrit nīlotpala blue lotus < nīla dark blue (see anil n. and nil n.²) + utpala lotus, water lily. Compare French nénufar (13th cent. in Old French as nenufar , c1350 in Middle French as nenuphar ), Spanish nenúfar (1251), Italian nenufaro (c1320; also in form nenufero ). Compare Nuphar n.The transmission of Arabic nīlūfar as naynūfar or nīnūfar is found as nenufar in post-classical Latin translations of the Canon of Avicenna, and probably arose from a misreading of the consonant l (lām) as n (nūn), the two characters being similar in shape, and (in the case of naynūfar) hypercorrection of ī (yā') to diphthongal ay.

a. A water lily, esp. the white water lily, Nymphaea alba, or the yellow water lily, Nuphar luteum. Also (esp. in †oil of nenuphar, †syrup of nenuphar): the roots, leaves, flowers, or seeds of these plants, used in medicinal preparations (obsolete). Now literary.
