Definitions

  1. Ornamental shrub with fragrant flowers.

Word origin

Borrowed from Ancient Greek δάφνη (dáphnē, “laurel, bay”).

Used in a sentence

  • Run when you will, the story shall be chang'd; / Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase; / The dove pursues the griffin
  • My wife. Daphne. Yes, that was, is, her name. For some reason people have always found it faintly comic. I think it matches very well her damp, dark, myopic beauty.
