单词 calyx
释义

calyxn.

Brit. /ˈkeɪlɪks/, /ˈkalɪks/, U.S. /ˈkeɪlɪks/
Inflections: Formerly also calix; Plural calyces Brit. /ˈkeɪlᵻsiːz/, /ˈkalɪsɪz/, U.S. /ˈkeɪləsiz/, (rarely) calyxes.
Etymology: < Latin calyx, < Greek κάλυξ outer covering of a fruit, flower, or bud; shell, husk, pod, pericarp (from root of καλύπτειν to cover). In medieval Latin and in the Romanic languages, this word has run together in form with the much commoner Latin word calix ‘cup, goblet, drinking vessel’; and the two are to a great extent treated as one by modern scientific writers, so that the calyx of a flower is commonly explained as the ‘flower-cup’, and the form calyx and its derivatives are applied to many cup-like organs, which have nothing to do with the calyx of a flower, but are really meant to be compared to a calix or cup. See sense 2 and compare calix n.
1.
a. Botany. The whorl of leaves (sepals), either separate or grown together, and usually green, forming the outer envelope in which the flower is enclosed while yet in the bud. Called by Grew, 1682, Empalement.
