polypodiumn.

Brit.

/ˌpɒlɪˈpəʊdɪəm/, U.S.

/ˌpɑliˈpoʊdiəm/

Inflections: Plural polypodia.

Forms: 1500s polipodium, 1600s– polypodium. Also with capital initial.

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin polypodium (4th cent.; compare classical Latin polypodion (Pliny)) < Hellenistic Greek πολυπόδιον a kind of fern (Theophrastus) < ancient Greek πολυ- poly- comb. form + ποδ- , πούς foot (see -pod comb. form) + -ιον , diminutive suffix (compare -y suffix⁴). Compare earlier polypody n.¹, polypod n.¹The identification of the fern so called by ancient writers with the modern Polypodium vulgare is not definite, and the reason for the name is not certain, although Theophrastus likens the branching rhizome to the tentacles of an octopus:1916 A. Hort tr. Theophrastus Enq. into Plants II. ix. 287 The root of polypody is rough and has suckers like the tentacles of the polyp. It purges downwards: and, if one wears it as an amulet, they say that one does not get a polypus.

Botany.

Originally: a polypody (also polypodium fern). Later also (in form Polypodium): a large and cosmopolitan genus of ferns of the family Polypodiaceae.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 1010. Linnaeus's genus was very much more inclusive than the modern genus, and many of its former members are now placed in genera of different families, such as Dryopteris and Athyrium.
