Noun

IPA: /ˈlʌvɪd͡ʒ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈlʌvəd͡ʒ/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-lovage.wav Forms: lovages [plural]
Etymology: From Middle English loveache, a folk-etymological alteration, after love and ache (“parsley”), of Anglo-Norman luvasche and Old French luvache, loveche et al., and Middle French levesche, from Latin levisticum, probably alteration of Latin ligusticum, substantivization of the neuter of Ligusticus (“Ligurian”), ultimately from Ancient Greek Λιγυστικός (Ligustikós, “Ligurian”), from Λίγυς (Lígus, “Ligurian”). This replaced the Old English name lufestiċe (literally “love-stitch”), which was also derived from levisticum and altered by folk-etymology.
