Definitions

  1. evergreen liana widely cultivated for its variegated foliage

Word origin

From translingual Pothos, the genus name. The similarity to Ancient Greek Πόθος (Póthos), the name of one of Aphrodite's erotes who was said to carry a vine (from πόθος (póthos, “yearning, desire”)) is noted; however, other references give the origin as Sinhalese පෝටා වැල් (pōṭā wæl).

Used in a sentence

  • Vines of golden pothos climb the steel support beams.
