Forms:

α. 1500s 1700s poligonum, 1500s– polygonum.

β. 1600s poligonon, 1600s polygonon.

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin polygonum (compare classical Latin polygonus (Pliny), polygona (Columella)) < Hellenistic Greek πολύγονον knotgrass < ancient Greek πολυ- poly- comb. form + γόνυ (see polygonate adj.¹). Compare Spanish †polígono (1580 or earlier). Compare earlier polygony n. and the Old French form cited at that entry.In β forms after Hellenistic Greek πολύγονον.

1. Originally: knotgrass, esp. Polygonum aviculare. Later also (in form Polygonum): a large and widely distributed genus of plants, the type of the family Polygonaceae, comprising chiefly herbaceous plants having stems with swollen joints sheathed by stipules, and small pink or white apetalous flowers; (also polygonum) a plant belonging or formerly belonging to this genus.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) I. 359.Many plants originally included in the genus, such as bistort and water pepper, are now often placed in Persicaria (in the same family).
