Samuel Johnson's Dictionary

  1. Earthnutnoun

    A pignut; a root in shape and size like a nut.

    Etymology: earth and nut.

    It is an umbelliferous plant, with a rose-shaped flower, consisting of many leaves orbicularly placed, which turns to a fruit composed of small oblong smooth leaves, gibbous on one side, and plain on the other. It has a fleshy tuberose root. It is very common in shady woods and pastures, rising early in Spring, and flowering in May: in July the seeds are ripe, and soon after the leaves decay. Some dig up the roots, and eat them raw: they are very much like chestnuts, and not an unpleasant morsel; but boiled they are a very delicious food, eaten with butter and pepper, and are esteemed very nourishing. Philip Miller.

    Where there are earthnuts in several patches, though the roots lie deep in the ground, and the stalks be dead, the swine will by their scent root only where they grow. John Ray.
