Noun

Audio: nl-beekpunge.ogg Forms: beekbunge [alternative]
Etymology: First attested in 1608 spelled beeckpunge, representing a calque of German Bachbunge / Bachpunge, where beek (“brook”) replaces German Bach; so named because the plant grows by brooks and ditches. The element -punge is an unadapted borrowing from German and does not exist outside this word in Dutch; it ultimately derives from a Germanic word meaning "bulge" or "bunch". Compare also Swedish bäckebunga, whence the taxonomic name beccabunga (so named by Linnaeus). Etymology templates: {{cal|nl|de|Bachbunge|nocap=1}} calque of German Bachbunge, {{cog|sv|bäckebunga}} Swedish bäckebunga Head templates: {{nl-noun|f|-|-}} beekpunge f (uncountable, no diminutive)
