Solomon's seal词源英文解释

translation of Medieval Latin sigillum Salomonis, name for Polygonatum multiflorum Note: The earliest occurrence of the phrase as a plant name in British Medieval Latin is in the Laud herbal glossary (mid-twelfth century): "cassala, i. sigillum sancte Marie, vel sigillum Salomonis, sive stelle Domini" ("cassala, that is, Holy Mary's seal, or Solomon's seal, or the Lord's stars"). Later texts also refer to Polygonatum as either "sanctae Mariae sigillum" or "sigillum Salomonis/Solomonis." Modern explanations proffered for the name—that a transverse section of the rootstock or scars on the stem resemble the impression of a seal, or that the juice of the plant would "seal" wounds—appear to be after the fact.

The first known use of Solomon's seal was in 1543
