Forms: α. 1500s coleflorey, colieflorie, 1600s cole-flory, coleflorie, coly-flory, coley-florey, colliflory. β. 1600s coleflower, colly-flowre, coly-, cauly-, caully-, 1600s–1700s collyflower, colliflower, 1700s– cauliflower.

Etymology: The 16th cent. cole-florye , colie-florie , was apparently corrupted from the modern Latin cauli-flōra or French chou-flori , chou-fleuri , assimilated to English cole n.¹ (The Latin and French both mean ‘flowered cole or cabbage’: compare German blumenkohl, Dutch bloemkool ‘flower-cole’. Compare also Italian cavolfiore, plural cavoli (caoli) fiori, Spanish coliflor. The later colly-flower and cauliflower are assimilated to flower, and to the Latin cauliflora. So modern French has made chou-fleuri into chou-fleur ‘cole-flower’.

a. One of the cultivated varieties of the cabbage (Brassica oleracea botrytis cauliflora), the young inflorescence of which forms a close fleshy white edible head.
