How does a plant get a cool name like that?
From William R. Long, M. Div., Ph. D., J. D.:
The original name ... was Lysimachia, a Greek word that means "dissolves strife."... [T]he "loosestrife" name in English is a literal translation of "lysimachus," but we seem to have lost all understanding, if we ever really had it, regarding the origin of the name.
