Am"a*ranth (&unr_;), n. [L. amarantus, Gr. &unr_;, unfading, amaranth; 'a priv. + &unr_; to quench, cause to wither, fr. a root meaning to die, akin to E. mortal; -- so called because its flowers do not soon wither: cf. F. amarante. The spelling with th seems to be due to confusion with Gr. &unr_; flower.] 1. An imaginary flower supposed never to fade. [Poetic]
