Feverfew

Origin

Through Old French fevrefue, from Latin febrifugia, from febris ("fever") + fugō ("I drive away"). If directly from Latin, the latter part of the word was changed to "few" due to unfamiliarity with the element -fuge.

Noun

1. A European aromatic perennial herb, Tanacetum parthenium (or Chrysanthemum parthenium or Pyrethrum parthenium), having daisy-like flowers; valued as a traditional medicine especially for headaches
