An alternative or archaic spelling of daffodil, a yellow spring flower with a trumpet-shaped center.
Variant spelling of 'daffodil,' which comes from the Dutch 'de affodil,' itself possibly derived from Greek 'asphodelos' (asphodel). The 'aff-' spelling was used in older English before standardizing to 'daff-'.
This spelling shows how English was still figuring itself out in the 1500s-1600s—people spelled daffodils so many different ways that 'affodill' was once completely normal, and if everyone had written it that way, that would be the standard today!
