单词 carl hemp
释义

carl hempn.

Forms: Also 1500s churle hempe, charle hemp.
Etymology: < carl n.1 in sense ‘male’; but the name was actually given in 16th cent. to what is now known to be the female plant (being the robuster and coarser). So in medieval Latin, and other languages; the popular error was pointed out by Ray Hist. (1686) I. 159 ‘Mas robustior (haec nobis foemina dicitur quia prolifica)’, also by Linnæus Amœnitates (1746) I. 329; and fully discussed by Blair, Botan. Essays (1730) 246.
1. The female or seed-bearing hemp plant, which is of stronger growth, and produces a coarser fibre.
