Word origin

The word 'adiantum' is derived from New Latin, which in turn originated from the Ancient Greek term 'adiantos'. The Greek term means 'unhurt' or 'not wet', referring to the plant's ability to thrive in conditions that may be considered difficult for other plants. Adiantum ferns are notable for their unique leaf structure, which is often described as having a delicate, airy quality. Since its introduction into botanical nomenclature, the genus has been used in various cultural contexts, including art and herbal medicine, owing to its attractive appearance and historical significance. The genus has a long history of cultivation and use, with references found in the works of early herbalists and botanists.
