orris - n., any of several species of iris, particularly the Florentine iris, with a fragrant rootstock used in perfumes and medicines.


I'm disappointed to learn that this lovely word is, in fact, simply an alteration (possibly via Italian) of iris. And that wraps it up for a five-day week of five-letter words. Back to the regular mix next week.
