  • n. ヒヤシンス; [宝物]レッド?ジルコン; バイオレット?ブルー色

語源


ヒヤシンス

ギリシャ語のhyakinthosから。青紫色の花で、グラジオラス、アイリス、デルフィニウムなどの可能性がある。古代ギリシャ神話に登場する美少年ヒヤシンスと太陽神アポロンの物語に由来すると思われがちだが、同時に西風の神ゼピュロスもヒヤシンスに恋をし、愛から憎しみへ、アポロンとヒヤシンスの円盤投げの遊びの中で、アポロンがわざと円盤を投げて吹き飛ばし、ヒヤシンスを打ち砕いてしまった。取り乱したアポロンはヒヤシンスを花に変え、悲しみの涙が花びらに落ち、やがて花は青紫色に染まった。月桂樹と比較。

英語の語源


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.

=> jacinth
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.
