| Domain | Definition |
Bible | Rue a garden herb (Ruta graveolens) which the Pharisees were careful to tithe (Luke 11:42), neglecting weightier matters. It is omitted in the parallel passage of Matt. 23:23. There are several species growing wild in Palestine. It is used for medicinal and culinary purposes. It has a powerful scent, and is a stimulant. (See MINT.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Literature | Rue to grieve for something done, to repent, is the Anglo-Saxon reow, contrition; German, reue. Rue (1 syl.). Rue called "herb of grace," because it was employed for sprinkling holy water. Without doubt it was so used symbolically, because to rue means to be sorry, and penitence brings the water of grace with it. (Latin, ruta, from the Greek rhuo, so called because it sets persons free from disease and death.) (See Difference .) Ophelia says- "There's rue for you, and here's some for me! we may call it `herb of grace' o' Sundays."- Shakespeare: Hamlet, iv. 5. Rue A slip of land (free of all manorial charges and claims) encompassing or bounding manorial land. It certainly is not derived from the French rue, a street, nor is it a corruption of row. (See Rewe .) Rewe is a roll or slip, hence Ragman's rewe or roll (q.v.). "There is a whole world of curious history contained in the phrase Ragman's rewe, meaning a roll. In Piers Plowman's Vision, the pope's bull is called a rewe."- Edinburgh Review, July, 1870. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
