lavender (a bush of the Lavandula species) · lavender (dried flowers etc. from the lavender bush used in scent bags, for example) · lavender (a light violet colour) (uncountable, indefinite singular only)
köken: Attested since circa 1750. Related to Spanish cantueso, perhaps from a Vulgar Latin *chamaetusius, from Ancient Greek χαμαί (khamaí, “on the earth, ground”) θύος (thúos, “burnt offering”), meaning "incense of the earth"
