Composer's Note: Hedera, hed"²er-a: n. genus of Old World woody vines (family Araliaceae) usually having palmate leaves but in adult form often becoming shrubby with unlobed leaves . The genus name Hedera is the Classical Latin word for ivy, which is cognate with Ancient Greek χανδάνω (khandánō, 'to get, grasp'), both deriving from Proto-Indo-European *gÊ°ed- ('to seize, grasp, take'). Hedera may thus be translated as 'the clinging (plant)'. Show more
