A plant that survives extreme cold or blooms during frost seasons; another name for frostweed or similar hardy plants.
Compound of 'frost' and 'wort' (from Old English 'wyrt,' meaning plant or herb). The -wort suffix is common in plant names.
The '-wort' naming convention in English herbalism dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, where healers would name plants after their properties or seasons—so frostwort literally means 'the frost plant.'
