Borrowed from Ancient Greek πλήρωμᾰ ( plḗrōmă , “ that which fills, a complement; a filling up, a completing ” ) , from πληρόω ( plēróō , “ to make full, fill; to complete, finish ” ) (from πλήρης ( plḗrēs , “ complete, full ” ) (from Proto-Indo-European * pleh₁- ( “ to fill ” ) ) + -όω ( -óō , suffix forming verbs with the sense of making someone be or do something ) ) + -μᾰ ( -mă , suffix forming nouns denoting the result or effect of an action ) . The plant genus was coined by the Scottish botanist David Don (1799–1841) in 1822 to describe the way the seeds of the plant filled the capsule.
