The word chrysanthemum, emerging in English in the late 1500s, comes from the Greek krysanthemon, meaning "gold flower". The first component, krysos ("gold"), shows up in the biological term chrysalis.
Chrysanthemum在16世纪末期传入英语，这个单词源于希腊语krysanthemon（金色的花朵）。第一个组成部分krysos意为“金色的”，是形容蝶蛹的生物学术语。
莫奈笔下的菊花
The second, anthos ("flower"), appears in anthology, literally "a collection of flowers", first used for a compilation of small poems in the early 1600s.
Anthos表示“花朵”，它也是anthology的词根。Anthology意为 “鲜花大全”，在17世纪初期时，这个单词用来表示短诗集。
雏菊Daisy
The word daisy has deep roots in the English language. As attested to in some of English's earliest records, daisy comes from the Old English phrase dægesege: the "day's eye", as the flower's white petals close at dusk and open at dawn, like the eye of the day as it sleeps and wakes.
Daisy是一个地地道道的英语单词。根据一些英语相关的早期记载，Daisy来自于古英语短语dægesege，意思是“日之眼”。白色的雏菊黎明花开，黄昏花谢，就像是每一天的眼睛一样睡去醒来。
银莲花Anemone [ə'nemənɪ]
The anemone is also known as the windflower. Indeed, the word anemone, first attested in English in the mid-1500s, probably comes from a Greek word literally meaning "daughter of the wind".
Anemone（银莲花）也被称为风之花。事实上，anemone是在16世纪中叶首次出现在英语中的，它可能起源于一个希腊单词，意思是“风的女儿”。
