α. Old English ramesan, late Old English hrameson, Middle English ramesen, Middle English rameson, Middle English rampsoun, Middle English ramsoun, Middle English ramsyn, 1500s ramsin, 1500s 1800s ramsen, 1500s–1600s 1800s ramsom, 1500s–1800s ramson, 1800s– ramsden (English regional (Isle of Wight)), 1800s– ransom (English regional (Herefordshire)).

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: rams n.
Etymology: Originally (in α. forms) < the plural of rams n. (compare hosen at hose n. 2a). Being construed as a singular, this form hence developed a regular plural form (as e.g. in quot. a14002), which was itself apprehended as a singular form, hence the β. forms (although in many cases it is unclear whether forms of the type ramsons are apprehended and construed as singular or plural). Compare ramsey n.The earliest examples of the α. forms (in Old English) could alternatively be interpreted as simply showing the plural of rams n. (although in each case the Latin lemma is singular). The forms in ramp- show excrescent p . Compare ramps n.1 In form ransom with metathesis.
The Eurasian plant Allium ursinum (family Alliaceae), found in damp woodland and having broad flat leaves, clusters of white flowers, and a bulbous root, all of which smell of garlic; (also) the root of this plant. Also called wild garlic, bear's garlic.The leaves and roots of ramsons are edible, raw or cooked, and were formerly used medicinally.
