windflower

/wˈɪndflaʊɚ/ noun

Synonym of wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa).

Word Origin Windflower is a poetic name for the anemone, a flower that opens in the wind. It combines Germanic wind (from PIE *h₂weh₁- 'to blow') and Latin flos 'flower' (from PIE *bhel- 'to bloom'). The same flower root gives us floral, flourish, and efflorescence (a bursting into bloom). The anemone's Greek name literally means 'daughter of the wind'.
