Compare Middle French adianthe (1546), Middle French, French adiantum (1546), adiante (1549). Compare earlier adianthus n. Compare also earlier maidenhair n.With black adiantum n. compare post-classical Latin adiantum nigrum (1542 or earlier), Hellenistic Greek ἀδίαντον τὸ μέλαν.

Any fern included or formerly included in the genus Adiantum (family Pteridaceae), comprising ferns with bright green, wedge-shape pinnules on slender black shining stems, and marginal sori, covered by distinct indusia; (in later use) esp. the maidenhair, A. capillus-veneris. Also (in form Adiantum): the genus itself. Cf. adianthus n.† black adiantum n. Obsolete black spleenwort, Asplenium adiantum-nigrum (formerly called Adiantum nigrum).Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species plantarum (1753) II. 1094.
