Wisteria

• n. 紫藤；柴藤

来自18世纪美国植物学家Caspar Wistar,以表达对他的敬意，字母a拼做字母e为明显的打印讹误，但最后以讹传讹成为固定拼写。

Wisteria (n.)

genus of woody vines, 1819, formed by Thomas Nuttall, English botanist, in recognition of American anatomist Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) of Philadelphia + abstract noun ending -ia. The -e- apparently is a misprint. The Wistar Institute was founded in 1892 by his great-nephew and named for him.
