skirretn.¹

/ˈskɪrɪt/

Forms: α. Middle English skyrwate, Middle English–1500s skyrwyt (Middle English skyrwytte, skerwyth, scyrwyȝth, schirewyt), 1500s skyrwit; Middle English skirwhite, Middle English skirwhit, Middle English–1500s skirwit, 1500s–1600s skirwike, 1600s skirwicke. β. 1500s skyrwort, skyrwurt, 1500s–1700s skirwort, 1500s skirwurt, 1600s skirwirt; 1600s skir(r)iwort. γ. 1500s skyrrit, 1500s– skirret (1500s skiret), 1600s skirrot; 1600s skerret, 1700s skerrett, skerrit.

Etymology: Middle English skirwhit(e , apparently an alteration by popular etymology (? simulating skire white pure white) of Old French eschervis (modern French chervis ), which is closely related to Spanish chirivia , Portuguese cherivia , and appears to be a variant of Old French carvi caraway n. The later English skirret is a natural development < skirwhit, while skirwort represents a further attempt to make the word intelligible.

a. A perennial umbelliferous plant, Sium sisarum, a species of water parsnip, formerly much cultivated in Europe for its esculent tubers; the root of this plant. In one or two 15th cent. glossaries skyrwyt renders Latin eruca, probably in error.
