SHAMROCK

Sham "rock, n. Etym: [L. seamrog, seamar, trefoil, white clover, white honeysuckle; akin to Gael. seamrag.] (Bot. )

 

Defn: A trifoliate plant used as a national emblem by the Irish. The legend is that St. Patrick once plucked a leaf of it for use in illustrating the doctrine of the trinity.

 

Note: The original plant was probably a kind of wood sorrel (Oxalis Acetocella ); but now the name is given to the white clover (Trifolium repens ), and the black medic (Medicago lupulina ).
