Meaning & usage
honey fungus, armillaria
Where this word comes from
Early 19th century, from Austro-Bavarian and Bohemian dialects, of uncertain further origin. The two main theories are: * From a metathesis of Latin armillaria with the ending influenced by the Czech nominal suffix -ař. * From Bavarian hal im Oasch (literally “smooth in the arse”), from hal, from Middle High German hæle (“smooth, slippery”), referring to the mushroom’s laxative effect. (Such interpretation is definitely attested, but might be folk etymology.)
