Etymology
| Kanji in this term |

| 薺 |
| なずな Hyōgai |
| kun'yomi |
/nad͡zuna/ > /nazuna/
Unclear. There are two leading theories, based on older form nadzuna:
- May be derived from natsu na, as in 夏 (natsu, “summer”) + 無 (na, “missing, gone”), from the way the plant dies back in the summer.
- May be derived from nadzuru na, as in 撫づる (nadzuru, “to pet, to pat, to stroke”, the 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”) of Old Japanese verb 撫づ nadzu, modern Japanese 撫でる naderu) + 菜 (na, “edible greens”), from the way the flower clusters may invite handling.
Pronunciation
Noun
薺 or 薺 • (nazuna) ←なづな (naduna)?
Usage notes
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ナズナ (nazuna).
