Rfv-sense: The plant privet. - I see but the one quote. It is probably (talk) 23:05, 8 April 2023 (UTC)


 * OED identifies this with the English regionalism, a sense not in our entry. This seems more believable than Webster's privet. This, that and the other (talk) 02:34, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Especially since all the other plants in that quote are trees in England (though sallow is also a shrub), as is Tilia cordata (linden), while the privet found in England at the time (Ligustrum vulgare) is a shrub. Of course, the 19th century editions of the work that I've seen do annotate it as privet, so Webster isn't alone in that. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
