A spring-flowering plant with cup-shaped flowers in many colors, grown from a bulb and popular in gardens and as cut flowers.
Where the word comes from
From Dutch *tulip*, borrowed from Turkish *tülbend*, which originally meant "turban." The flower's cup-shaped bloom resembled a turban to Turkish observers. The word traveled westward through Ottoman trade routes in the 16th century, entering European languages as the exotic flower itself became fashionable among wealthy gardeners.
