OriginLate Middle English: from French dent-de-lion, translation of medieval Latin dens leonis 'lion's tooth' (because of the jagged shape of the leaves). The toothed leaves of the dandelion explain the origin of its name. French dent-de-lion means ‘lion's tooth’. The name came into English in the late Middle Ages. The usual term for the flower in French is now pissenlit, which has a parallel in English pissabed (mid 16th century), another name for the dandelion. The plant was formerly well known for its diuretic properties.
