bearbind

Where it comes from

Probably from Old English. Compare Old English berwinde for the first element (which might be related to Old English bere (“barley”) or bearo (“grove”)) . For the second part, compare other names for the same plant such as English cornbind and withwind, which seem to show free variation between wind and bind in compounds.

noun

uncountable European bindweed, lesser bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis).
uncountable Hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium)
Similar: bearbine, granny-pop-out-of-bed, greater bindweed, wild morning-glory, Rutland beauty, bindweed
