Daisy
This word comes from the Old English dægesege, which means "day's eye". There used to be a species of daisies in England that would open during the day and fold its petals at night. Therefore, it was like an eye that was opened during the day. It was called "day's eye", which later became "daisy".
Esta palabra proviene del inglés antiguo dægesege, que significa "ojo del día". Solía existir en Inglaterra una especie de margaritas que se abría durante el día y cerraba sus pétalos por la noche. Por lo tanto, era como un ojo que se abría durante el día. Se la llamaba "day's eye" (ojo del día), que más tarde se convirtió en "daisy".
