复数:dandelions
一种众所周知的雏菊科植物,原产于欧洲、亚洲和北美,有一根尖的乳白色根,开一朵大的黄色花,最早记载于14世纪后期,名字是dent-de-lioun的缩写形式,来自古法语dent de lion,意为“狮子的牙齿”(因其叶子的锯齿状边缘),是中世纪拉丁语dens leonis的翻译。来自拉丁文dens(dentis的所有格)“牙齿”,源于原始印欧语词根*dent-“牙齿”+ leonis,leo的所有格,“狮子”(参见lion)。
蒲公英的其他俗名,如tell-time,来源于通过吹散白色的蒲公英种子来预测时间的习俗(据说需要吹散它们的次数即为几点钟),或是和植物随着日光开合的有规律的生物节律有关。其他名称则是因为它的利尿特性而来(中古英语piss-a-bed, 法语pissenlit)。
