Origin:
The word "amaranthine" is derived from the Ancient Greek term "amarantos", which was originally used to refer to the mythical Greek flower of the same name. The amaranth flower was believed to be immortal and never-fading, hence its name.
The use of "amaranthine" in English dates back to the mid-16th century, where it was initially employed in a literal sense to describe the flower. However, it gradually expanded to incorporate metaphorical meanings, as it became associated with things that were enduring or timeless.
