A variant or poetic name for marigold, referring to its bright, clear golden color.
From 'clari-' (from Latin 'clarus,' clear) + 'gold,' directly referencing the flower's luminous golden petals. This appears to be a literary or archaic English coinage rather than a standard botanical term.
This poetic name reveals how Renaissance writers sometimes created compound words to describe flowers more vividly—'clarigold' captures both the clarity and brilliance of marigold petals in a single word.
