DÉFINITION
- n. Usually known as daisy, but also marguerite, it is a term form the Old English "dæges" and the Middle English "dayesye" "daysie", among others, meaning the eye of the day. The denomination marguerite is borrowed from the French "marguerite". It refers to the representation of the common daisy, "Bellis perennis", a familiar and favourite flower of the British Isles and Europe generally, having small flat flower-heads with yellow disk and white ray (often tinged with pink), which close in the evening; it grows abundantly on grassy hills, in meadows, by roadsides, etc., and blossoms nearly all the year round; many varieties are cultivated in gardens.
