narcissus=نرجس
ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
narcissus (n.)
type of bulbous flowering plant, 1540s, from L. narcissus, from Gk. narkissos "the narcissus," perhaps from a pre-Greek Aegean word, but associated with Gk. narke "numbness" (see narcotic) because of the sedative effect of the alkaloids in the plant.
