Goldenpert

/ˈɡoʊldənpɜrt/ noun

Definition

A plant species, likely referring to a golden-colored flowering plant with a perk or upright appearance.

Etymology

From 'golden' + 'pert' (Middle English 'perte' from Old French 'apert' meaning 'open, lively'). This appears to be a regional or folk name for a botanical specimen.

Kelly Says

Many old plant names mixed Latin/Greek with English adjectives—'pert' meant 'lively' and 'bold,' so goldenpert suggests a cheerful, bright-colored flower that stands up proudly!
