Aclemon

/ˈæklɪmən/ noun

Definition

A plant or substance without lemon characteristics, or possibly an archaic or botanical term for a non-acidic plant.

Etymology

From Greek 'a-' (not) + 'lemon' (from Persian via Arabic and Italian), suggesting something that is not lemon-like or lacks acidic citrus properties.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it barely appears in historical records — it might be a lost botanical term, reminding us that language preserves only a fraction of what humans once named and categorized.
