Definition
A blue or violet pigment found in flowers and plants, related to anthocyanins.
Etymology
From Greek 'anthos' (flower) + 'kyanos' (blue, dark blue). This term appears in older botanical literature as an early name for what scientists now call anthocyanins, discovered as natural plant dyes.
Kelly Says
Before synthetic dyes were invented, anthokyan pigments gave us blue flowers and fruits—blueberries get their color from this very compound, which is why you can actually extract blue dye from flower petals!
