antirrhinum: [16] Antirrhinum means literally ‘similar to a nose’. The Greek compound antirrhīnon was formed from the prefix anti- ‘against, simulating’ and rhīn-, the stem of rhīs ‘nose’ (also found in English rhinoceros). The English word was borrowed from the latinized form, antirrhinum. The name comes, of course, from the snapdragon flower’s supposed resemblance to an animal’s nose or muzzle (another early name for the plant was calf ’s snout). => rhinoceros
