Jardiniere
from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day
Jardiniere is a noun that refers to an ornamental pot or stand for plants for flowers. Our word of the day is a loan word that comes directly from the French word for ‘gardener.’ It’s been used since the mid-19th century to describe places to display plants or flowers. Here’s an example: When I first saw that jardiniere, I assumed it was from someplace exotic like the Far East. It turned out to be just a pot from Cleveland. I wish I had known that before I paid two hundred dollars for it.
