leek 音标拼音: [l'ik] n. 韭菜 韭菜 leek n 1: plant having a large slender white bulb and flat overlapping dark green leaves; used in cooking; believed derived from the wild Allium ampeloprasum [synonym: {leek}, {scallion}, {Allium porrum}] 2: related to onions; white cylindrical bulb and flat dark-green leaves Leek \Leek\ (l[=e]k), n. [AS. le['a]c; akin to D. look, G. lauch, OHG. louh, Icel. laukr, Sw. l["o]k, Dan l["o]g. Cf. {Garlic}.] (Bot.) A plant of the genus {Allium} ({Allium Porrum}), having broadly linear succulent leaves rising from a loose oblong cylindrical bulb. The flavor is stronger than that of the common onion. [1913 Webster] {Wild leek}, in America, a plant ({Allium tricoccum}) with a cluster of ovoid bulbs and large oblong elliptical leaves. [1913 Webster] Leek
(Heb. hatsir; the Allium porrum), rendered "grass" in 1 Kings 18:5, 2 Kings 19:26, Job 40:15, etc.; "herb" in Job 8:12; "hay" in Prov. 27:25, and Isa. 15:6; "leeks" only in Num. 11:5. This Hebrew word seems to denote in this last passage simply herbs, such as lettuce or savoury herbs cooked as kitchen vegetables, and not necessarily what are now called leeks. The leek was a favourite vegetable in Egypt, and is still largely cultivated there and in Palestine.
