Etymology: < post-classical Latin phillyrea (C. de l'Écluse Rariorum Stirpium Historia (1576) I. xv. 60) < Hellenistic Greek ϕιλυρέα (Theophrastus) < ancient Greek ϕιλύρα lime tree, of unknown origin + -εα, feminine of -εος, suffix forming adjectives. Compare French phillyrée (1560 in Middle French as phylire), Italian fillirea (a1577).The ϕιλυρέα of Theophrastus is considered to be Phillyrea latifolia. In β. forms probably after French. Forms in phyl-, phyll- probably result from association with words in phyllo- comb. form or its etymon ancient Greek ϕύλλον leaf.
