amaranth (medicine) and WI 2, (oh)


amaranth (medicine)


amaranth


1. An imaginary flower supposed never to fade.

2. <botany> A genus of ornamental annual plants (Amaranthus) of many species, with green, purplish, or crimson flowers.

2. A colour inclining to purple.

Origin: L. Amarantus, Gr, unfading, amaranth; priv. + to quench, cause to wither, fr. A root meaning to die, akin to E. Mortal; so called because its flowers do not soon wither: cf. F. Amarante. The spelling with th seems to be due to confusion with Gr. Flower.
