"anthology" meaning in English

See anthology in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ænˈθɒlədʒi/ [UK], /ænˈθɑləd͡ʒi/ [US] Audio: En-us-anthology.ogg [US] Forms: anthologies [plural]
Rhymes: -ɒlədʒi Etymology: Borrowed from Ancient Greek ἀνθολογία (anthología, “flower-gathering”), from ἀνθολογέω (anthologéō, “I gather flowers”), from ἄνθος (ánthos, “flower”) + λέγω (légō, “I gather, pick up, collect”), coined by Meleager of Gadara circa 60 BCE, originally as Στέφανος (στέφανος (stéphanos, “garland”)) to describe a collection of poetry, later retitled anthology – see Greek Anthology. Anthologiai were collections of small Greek poems and epigrams, because in Greek culture the flower symbolized the finer sentiments that only poetry can express.

Anthologiai were collections of small Greek poems and epigrams, because in Greek culture the flower symbolized the finer sentiments that only poetry can express.",
