The "t" in "dentdelion" probably disappeared early in Old French, having been absorbed into the related sound of the "d". The earliest recorded instance of the word occurs in an herbal written in 1373, but we find an instance of "dandelion" used in a proper name ("Willelmus Dawndelyon") in a document dated 1363.

The leaves are shiny and without hairs, the margin of each leaf cut into great jagged teeth, either upright or pointing somewhat backwards, and these teeth are themselves cut here and there into lesser teeth. It is this somewhat fanciful resemblance to the canine teeth of a lion that (it is generally assumed) gives the plant its most familiar name of "Dandelion", which is a corruption of the French "Dent de Lion", an equivalent of this name being found not only in its former specific Latin name "Dens leonis" and in the Greek name for the genus to which Linnaeus assigned it, "Leontodon", but also in nearly all the languages of Europe.

"dandelion" (n.) early 15c., earlier "dent-de-lioun" (late 14c.), from Middle French "dent de lion", literally "lion's tooth" (from its toothed leaves), translation of Medieval Latin "dens leonis". Other folk names, like "tell-time" refer to the custom of telling the time by blowing the white seed (the number of puffs required to blow them all off supposedly being the number of the hour), or to the plant's more authentic diuretic qualities, preserved in Middle English "piss-a-bed" and French "pissenlit".

3.7. The form "pisbEdz" (SED W 12St 2 [Mow Cop]) is originally a term for the "dandelion" (BrittHoll s.v. "Pissabed" "Leontodon Taraxacum L."; "Ranunculus bulbosus L."), coined after Fr. "pissenlit" (cf. OED s.v. "pissabed", EDD IV: 523f.). The transfer to "Tussilago farfara" is not unexpected if one takes the many parallel developments in German dialects (cf. HM IV: 859 & 872f.) into account.

Let’s start with the names, both common and scientific. In English, "dandelion" is a corruption of the French. Originally it was called "dent de lion" and the name came over in 1066 with a certain William and his Conquerors. It means "lion’s tooth" and many people mistakenly believe it refers to the orange colored flower head, confusing the words "beard" and "tooth".

The Dandelion - Whimsical World-Wide Weed 2014-08-13 clips from every story, Cool, dandelion, History, Legends, Lovely, myths, Photographs, Photography, Pictures, pictures of dandelions

The humble dandelion. From your garden to almost the ends of the earth this small but conspicuous plant flourishes. Gardeners do not appreciate its presence, considering it a weed, even though its flowering usually indicates the beginning of the honey bee season and could be seen as a welcome sign. Its simplistic looking structure hides a few surprising secrets and its cultural resonance, especially in Europe is strong. Here is a short but sincere homage to one of the small wonders of our botanical world.

The Germans and Poles, two nations not altogether noted for overt linguistic romanticism have names which mean approximately the same, in fact the German, "Pusteblume" has a lovely ring to it, with a slightly onomatopoeic edge: one can almost imagine someone blowing the seeds away with relish with that strong "P" sound at the beginning of the word.

Perhaps the Polish do it best, separating the stages of the plant’s life by giving it two separate names. While it is in its flower state, then in Polish it is called a "mlecz". This is a word that comes from "milk" and is due to the milky sap that generously spills on to the finger when the stem is snapped. Later, when it has produced seeds, then it is known as "dmuchawiec" - again, another reference to the blowing away of the seeds.

The Finnish people call it the "butter flower" which could refer to its golden color when in bloom or perhaps to its prevalence in meadows where milking cows are kept. The Norwegians call it the "worm rose", which sums up the dual attitude humanity has towards the plant. At the same time its simple but pleasing appearance gets a reference, so does its lowly status. It may be a "rose" - but only for the worms!
...
Just in case you are asked by an inquisitive child - yes, the stalk between achene (seed) and pappus (parachute) has a name too. It is known as a "beak" and breaks off from the achene with ease, so enabling the seed to germinate. The residual fluff of the parachutes, which can cover an area visibly, is sometimes known as "dandelion snow".

Stories behind Words: dandelion

Posted by Karen Richardson on April 24, 2013
...
In my early 20s, while studying herbal medicine, I was chuffed to find out that the name dandelion comes from a mispronunciation of the French "Dente de Lion", literally "lion’s tooth". Look at the shape of the leaves, and it will be obvious how it got this name. Even more relevant to a budding phytotherapist, was finding out that the French give this diuretic plant another more vernacular name: "pisse en lit". Where I live now, the plant’s name in the local German Swabian dialect is: "Bettsoicherle". Both of these folk-names mean the same thing in English, and that is "wet the bed". Be aware of this next time you drink a pot of dandelion tea before bedtime!

What is the etymology of dandelion?

"Dandelion" is from a French phrase "dent de lion", from Latin "dens leonis" "lion's tooth" - based on the deeply toothed edges of the leaves of this weed.
...
Some say there is a 'missing link' in this (and other words') etymology: that of Anglo-French. "Dandelion" is said by the authorities to be first found in English in the 16th century and to be an adaptation of the French "dent-de-lion". Yet Godefroy's (Godefroy, F., Dictionnaire de l'ancienne langue française et de tous ses dialectes du IXe au XVe siècle, 10 vols; Paris, 1880-1902) sole example of "dandelyon" comes from the Englishman Palsgrave, a dating which clearly refutes the claim that the sixteenth-century English word is "adapted" from continental French.

Etymology and differences from dandelions

"Catsear" is derived from the words "cat's ear", and refers to the shape and fine hair on the leaves resembling that of the ear of a cat.

The plant is also known as "false dandelion", as it is commonly mistaken for "true dandelions". Both plants carry similar flowers which form windborne seeds. However, "catsear" flowering stems are forked and solid, whereas "dandelions" possess unforked stems that are hollow. Both plants have a rosette of leaves and a central taproot. The leaves of dandelions are jagged in appearance, whereas those of catsear are more lobe-shaped and hairy. Both plants have similar uses.
