Definition
A plant name, possibly referring to a medicinal or common herb with some connection to doves or pigeons (from culver plus wort, an old term for plant).
Etymology
From culver (dove) plus wort (plant, from Old English wyrt). This is a folk plant name where the first element (culver) may describe appearance, use, or association, as was common in pre-modern botanical naming.
Kelly Says
Culverwort follows the medieval pattern of naming plants after animals—if a plant was used to treat dove diseases, or had leaves shaped like dove feet, or was called a dove's plant, it got the culver name, but without herbals specifying which plant this was, it's now a mystery.
