Etymology

The term 'reedmace' is derived from the Middle English word 'mace', which originally referred to a weapon or club. The association with the plant likely comes from the resemblance of the plant's flower spikes to a club. Reedmace has been used historically for various purposes, including as a source of food, material for weaving, and as a natural filtration system in wetland environments.
