marguerite

• n. 雏菊；延命菊；菊科植物

来自人名Margaret的法语形式，用于命名这种菊花。但是也有词源学家认为该词实质上是来自该人名的希腊语词义珍珠，词源同margaric,即像珍珠一样的花。

marguerite (n.)

"oxeye daisy," 1866, from French marguerite (see Margaret). "According to French etymologists, this use of F. marguerite is not from the personal name, but comes directly from the sense 'pearl.' " [OED] In Middle English, margaret "a daisy" is attested from early 15c.
