colored part of the eye or a type of flower
from Greek iris 'rainbow'
The iris is like a rainbow in your eye - colorful and beautiful!
In Greek mythology, Iris is female (goddess of the rainbow). This gendered mythological association persists in art and literature, though the iris flower and anatomical term are gender-neutral.
Use anatomical or botanical context clearly; when referencing mythology, note it as a specific cultural source rather than universal truth.
