单词 satyrion
释义

satyrionn.

Brit. /səˈtɪrɪən/, U.S. /səˈtɪriən/
Forms:

α. Old English 1500s– satyrion, Middle English saturion, Middle English saturioun, Middle English–1600s satirion, 1600s saterion.

β. 1600s satyrian.

γ. 1700s satyrium.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin satyrion.
Etymology: < classical Latin satyrion, satyrium < Hellenistic Greek σατύριον , both in the sense ‘plant, especially orchid, supposed to have aphrodisiac properties’, already in ancient Greek denoting a water rodent < σάτυρος satyr n. + -ιον, suffix forming nouns.Compare Old French, Middle French, French satyrion , Middle French (rare) satirion (13th cent.). Semantic motivation of the name. The orchids in question do not have aphrodisiac properties, but were formerly thought to do so because their roots or rhizomes resemble testicles in appearance (compare the English names of various species of orchis cited at stone n. 11b), hence evoking the image of satyrs. The rare use to denote aroid plants is similarly motivated; compare the second element in cuckoo-pint n., cuckoo-pintle n. Specific forms. With the β. forms perhaps compare -ian suffix. With the γ. forms compare Middle French, French †satyrium (late 16th cent.).
1. Any of various European orchids having tuberous roots or rhizomes; esp. the early purple orchid, Orchis mascula. Also: a tuber or rhizome of any of these plants, (formerly) used medicinally either to increase or to suppress sexual desire (depending on the species or the condition of the root). Occasionally also: †any of several other herbaceous plants, esp. cuckoo pint, Arum maculatum, and dragon arum, Dracunculus vulgaris (obsolete). Now historical.
