tendriln.

/ˈtɛndrɪl/

Forms: Also 1500s -yll, -elle, 1500s–1700s -el, 1600s -ell, 1700s -ill.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; apparently < Latin tendĕre, French tendre to stretch; in its actual form and sense only in English.Cf. French tendrillon bud, tender sprout or shoot, diminutive of tendron in same sense, also figurative a ‘bud’, a young girl; also cartilage; which Hatzfeld & Darmesteter refer to tendre adj. tender. But Paré (16th cent.) took tendron as synonymous with capréole tendril, clasper (‘La vigne par ses tendrons ou capréoles tortues embrasse toutes choses’), and Latin capreolus (rendered by Elyot 1538 ‘tendrell’) was by R. Estienne, 1536, glossed by tendon, a derivative of Latin tendĕre, French tendre to stretch. There was thus in 16th cent. French some confusion between tendon and tendron, which appears to have influenced the English use of tendril and associated it with tendre to stretch rather than with tendre tender. See also Weekley in Trans. Philol. Soc. 1909.

a. A slender thread-like organ or appendage of a plant (consisting of a modified stem, branch, flower-stalk, leaf, or part of a leaf), often growing in a spiral form, which stretches out and attaches itself to or twines round some other body so as to support the plant. (Distinguished from a twining stem by not bearing leaves.)
