Historical Definition
Fabiola is the flower of beans.
Meaning
The definition gives a brief plant-related identification without describing a preparation or use. The historical wording is retained rather than expanded into a particular bean species or a medicinal action.
Use in the Book
Faba is a measure, despite its closely related-looking name, while Amygdale is an anatomical term in the dictionary’s surgical usage. These examples reinforce the need to follow the supplied definition rather than infer a meaning solely from a familiar-looking word. Fabiola receives only the short bean-related gloss here.
Places to Read
