† blood-strangen.

Forms: 1500s 1700s bloud-strange, 1500s–1600s 1800s blood-strange, 1600s 1800s blod-strange.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: blood n., an element of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Apparently < blood n. + a second element of uncertain identity and meaning.This word may show remodelling of harstrang n. with substitution of blood n. for the first element, or adaptation of a parallel formation in another Germanic language showing a cognate of blood n. It has been suggested that the second element is derived ultimately from classical Latin stringere to draw together, to bind tightly (see stringent adj.), with allusion to the plant's supposed binding or astringent properties, which are mentioned in the original of quot. 1578, although such a loan would be otherwise unattested in English. Alternatively, it has been suggested that this element represents a variant or alteration of string n., perhaps with allusion to the cord-like column, covered with pistils, rising from the centre of the plant, which gives rise to the alternative name mousetail, although the meaning of the compound would be unclear.

Obsolete.

The mousetail, Myosurus minimus, a small plant of the buttercup family formerly supposed to have styptic properties.
