单词 bennet
释义

bennetn.1

/ˈbɛnət/
Forms: Also Middle English benet, bennett.
Etymology: Middle English herbe beneit, probably < Old French herbe beneite (in modern French benoîte), translating Latin herba benedicta ‘blessed herb,’ in Italian erba benedetta, German benedicte, also benedictenkraut, benedictenwurz. Of herba benedicta Platearius is quoted in the Ortus Sanitatis of 1486, as saying ‘Where the root is in the house the devil can do nothing, and flies from it; wherefore it is blessed above all other herbs.’ (Prior.) To what plant these virtues were originally ascribed, and how the name was eventually attached to Geum urbanum, cannot be determined: see Prior.
In herb bennet, name of a species of Avens, Geum urbanum (family Rosaceæ), a common European wayside plant with yellow flower. The name was vaguely or inaccurately applied by early herbalists, being given also to the Hemlock and, according to Prior, to the Wild Valerian.
