Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the ancient Greek word amaranthos, meaning ' unfading flower,' composed of 'a-' (not) and 'marainein' (to waste away or fade). The term entered English in the late 16th century via late Latin and French, originally referring to an imaginary flower that never fades, later applied to real plants with long-lasting vibrant inflorescences.
