nerd, νάρδος. A plant that grows in India: so called, it is said, because of the 'spikes' that grow out of its roots. Its root and leaves are imported. A costly ointment was made of it, giving off a sweet perfume. Cant. 1: 12; Cant. 4: 13, 14; Mark 14: 3; John 12: 3. It has
been identified with the Nardostachys jatamansi.
