A plant with golden-colored hair-like structures or flowers, or a person with golden blonde hair.
From Middle English 'golden' (made of gold, golden-colored) + 'locks' (strands of hair). The term combines Old English 'gylden' with Proto-Germanic roots for 'gold' alongside 'lac' meaning lock or tuft.
This word shows how plants get named after their appearance—goldenlocks is actually a real wildflower species (Oenothera), and the same naming pattern appears in dozens of plants like 'fireweed' and 'bluebells'!
