# baldmoney

> English word · Noun · IPA /ˈbɔːldˌmʌni/

## Definitions
1. Meum athamanticum, an ornamental plant in the Apiaceae family.
2. A Gentianeae tribe plant, gentian or felwort.

## Etymology
Apparently a corruption of Latin valdē bona (“very good”) (a plant mentioned in Leonhart Fuchs's Great Herbal). Earliest forms seem to come from an intermediate, unattested French form baudemoine (modern French baudremoine) and by analogy to the plant name agrimony.
