Noun [Norwegian Bokmål]

IPA: /²aˈbrɔd/, [aˈbrɔ̂d] Audio: NB - Pronunciation of Norwegian Bokmål «abrodd».ogg Forms: abrodden [definite, singular], abrodder [indefinite, plural], abroddene [definite, plural], abrot [alternative]
Rhymes: -ɔd Etymology: First attested in 1694. Borrowed from Latin abrotonum (“southernwood”), from Ancient Greek ἀβρότονον (abrótonon, “tree wormwood; southernwood”). The ultimate origin of the Ancient Greek plant name is uncertain and it is probably a loanword. Norwegian dictionaries traditionally connect it with ἄβροτος (ábrotos, “immortal”), hence the interpretation “immortal, divine”, but modern Greek etymological scholarship does not regard this derivation as secure. Compare older Danish Danish abrod (“southernwood”) and Swedish Swedish åbrodd (“southernwood”).
