Word Origin & History
daffodil
154os, variant of M.E. affodill "asphodel," from M.L. affodillus, from L. asphodelus, from Gk. asphodelos, of unknown origin. The initial d- is perhaps from merging of the article in Du. de affodil, the Netherlands being a source for bulbs. First reference to the flower we know by this name (Narcissus
EXPANDpseudo-Narcissus) is from 1590s.
