sclareia.
clary sage
Meaning & usage
clary sage
Where this word comes from
From earlier hastula rēgia (“asphodel plant”) via loss of /h/, aphaeresis of the first /a/, syncope of /u/, dissimilation of /tl/ to /kl/, and merger of intervocalic /ɡj/ with /j/ (not necessarily all in that order). Attested in an appendix to Gargilius (which may represent a late interpolation) as well as a variety of ninth-century works. The semantic change may be due to the resemblance of the floral spikes of the clary sage to those of the asphodel.
