hyacinth 风信子

来自希腊语hyakinthos,一种蓝紫色花，可能为剑兰，鸢尾，飞燕草等。通常认为来自古希腊神话美少年Hyacinth,与太阳神Apollo相好，但同时西风之神Zephyrus也同时爱上了Hyacinth,并由爱生恨，在Apollo与Hyacinth一次掷铁饼嬉戏时，故意把Apollo掷出的铁饼吹偏，并砸死了Hyacinth.阿波罗痛苦不已，把Hyacinth变成了一朵花，悲伤的眼泪落在了花瓣上，最终把花染成了蓝紫色。比较laurel.

英文词源

hyacinth
hyacinth: [16] Greek huákinthos denoted a plant with deep red flowers which according to legend sprang from the blood of Hyacinthus, a beautiful youth whom Apollo loved but accidentally killed. It probably came from some pre-Hellenic Mediterranean language, and was remodelled in Greek on the basis of Hyacinthus’s name. It is not clear what sort of plant the original hyacinth was, but by the time the word reached English (via Latin hyacinthus and French hyacinthe) it had been adopted for the bluebell and its immediate relatives.

Greek huákinthos was also used for a variety of precious stone, probably originally the sapphire. This meaning too followed the word into English, but is now little used, having been taken over by jacinth [13] – itself a descendant of Latin hyacinthus.

hyacinth (n.)
1550s, "the plant hyacinth;" re-Greeked from earlier jacinth (late 14c.) "hyacinth; blue cornflower," earlier a precious stone blue (rarely red) in color (c. 1200), from Old French jacinte and Medieval Latin jacintus, ultimately from Greek hyakinthos, probably ultimately from a non-Indo-European Mediterranean language. Used in ancient Greece of a blue gem, perhaps sapphire, and of a purple or deep red flower, but exactly which one is unknown (gladiolus, iris, and larkspur have been suggested). Fabled to have sprouted from the blood of Hyakinthos, youth beloved by Apollo and accidentally slain by him. The flower is said to have the letters "AI" or "AIAI" on its petals. The modern use in reference to a particular flowering plant genus is from 1570s.
