Dandelion, or taraxacum officinale, is also called lion’s tooth, blowball, puffball, swine snout, cankerwort, heart-fever grass, clock, monk’s head, pee-the-bed, pish-the-bed, and pissenlit. In both Gaeilge and Scots Gaelic, it’s known as eàrnan-brìde, the ‘Intended One of Brigid,’ in honor of the goddess Brigid. The scientific name taraxacum is derived from the Greek words taraxos, meaning disorder, and akos, meaning remedy, which seems incredibly accurate.
