Old English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unattested in Old English; its listing in the Bosworth-Toller is an error. However, the word's appearance in early Middle English (c. 1230) and other Germanic languages (German Katzenminze, Icelandic kattarminta, Swedish kattmynta) means that it is very likely to have existed in Old English as well.
