| 词汇 | solomon-s seal |
| 词源 | Solomon’s seal. Some say that Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum multiflorum) is so named because as the flower’s stem decays the rootstalk of the plant becomes marked with scars that have some resemblance to official seals such as the seal of Solomon, king of Israel in about 900 b.c. Others hold that the root has medicinal value in sealing up and closing wounds. |
