wild vine;
Meaning & usage
the plant of the woodland grape (Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris)
Where this word comes from
Uncertain: * if the first vowel was short, possibly a compound of labrum (“lip”) + ūrō (“to burn”) + -ca, in reference to its acidity - notice the substitution of the first member with lambō (“to lick”). This is supported by several ancient grammarians; other grammarians also refer it to labrum, but in the meaning “edge of the field” where it was usually found; * if the first vowel was long, possibly from lābor (“to glide down”), but this leaves the second element unexplained. Compare laburnum (“golden chain”) and rūscum (“butcher's broom”) for possible contamination sources.
