<< review queue entry 67683 - submitted by 'gregboothe' >> 芸 in traditional as well MOE, LA, HDC, GR ----------------------------- Editor: 1) Thanks for correcting the traditional character. 2) I'll take this opportunity to rewrite the definition and add two more entries. 芸香 is common rue. It is not the family Rutaceae (aka "rue family" or "citrus family"). Rather, it is a *member* of that family. It is a member of Ruta (芸香屬), a genus in the family Rutaceae (芸香科), so 芸香 evidently lends its name to its genus and family. Chao&Yang (1945) defines 芸香 as "essence of rue, often burnt on festive occasions". However, it seems all later dictionaries define it as simply "rue", so I guess the meaning has shifted over time. |
