Etymology of HYACINTHIN

The word "hyacinthin" is derived from the Latin word "hyacinthus", which in turn comes from the Greek word "hyakinthos". In Greek mythology, Hyakinthos was a beautiful youth loved by the Greek god Apollo. According to the myth, while the two were playing a game of discus, a jealous god named Zephyr blew a strong gust of wind to divert Apollo's throw, causing the discus to strike and kill Hyakinthos. From the blood of the slain youth, Apollo created a flower called the hyacinth. The word "hyacinthin" refers to something related to or resembling the hyacinth, often used to describe its color or fragrance.
