1. 1. An imaginary flower supposed never to fade. 2. A genus of ornamental annual plants (Amaranthus) of many species, with green, purplish, or crimson flowers. 2. A colour inclining to purple. Origin: L. Amarantus, Gr, unfading, amaranth; priv. + to quench, cause to wither, fr. A root meaning to die, akin to E. Mortal; so called because its flowers do not soon wither: cf. F. Amarante. The spelling with th seems to be due to confusion with Gr. Flower. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998)
