כלנית

/kalaˈnit/ Modern Israeli

Where it comes from

Coined by the Academy of the Hebrew Language in 1912, from Aramaic כַּלָּנִיתָא (kallānīṯā, “type of reed”), based on ܟܠܘܢܝܬܐ (kallōnīṯā, “anemone”), both apparent diminutives of כַּלְּתָא (kalləṯā, “bride”). Can be synchronically analyzed as כַּלָּה (kalá, “bride”) + ־ָן (-án) + ־ִית (-ít).

noun כַּלָּנִית · kalanít · כַּלָּנִיּוֹת · כַּלָּנִית־ · כַּלָּנִיּוֹת־
