How the English word “plant” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
PLANT, noun
[Latin planta; splendeo, splendor.]
- A vegetable; an organic body, destitute of sense and spontaneous motion, adhering to another body in such a manner as to draw from it its nourishment, and having the power of propagating itself by seeds; 'whose seed is in itself.' This definition may not be perfectly correct, as it respects all plants, for some marine plants grow without being attached to any fixed body.
- A sapling.
- In Scripture, a child; a descendant; the inhabitant of a country. Psalms 144:12Jeremiah 48:32
- The sole of the foot. [Little used.]
