Etymology: < water n. + wort n.¹ Compare Old High German wazzarwurz water lily (German †Wasserwurz, denoting various plants, rare).

1. Either of two ferns with delicate fronds, the maidenhair fern, Adiantum capillus-veneris, and maidenhair spleenwort, Asplenium trichomanes (see maidenhair n. 1) (now regional).
