Myrrh \Myrrh\, n. [OE. mirre, OF. mirre, F. myrrhe, L. myrrha,
murra, Gr. ?; cf. Ar. murr bitter, also myrrh, Heb. mar
bitter.]
A gum resin, usually of a yellowish brown or amber color, of
an aromatic odor, and a bitter, slightly pungent taste. It is
valued for its odor and for its medicinal properties. It
exudes from the bark of a shrub of Abyssinia and Arabia, the
{Balsamodendron Myrrha}. The myrrh of the Bible is supposed
to have been partly the gum above named, and partly the
exudation of species of {Cistus}, or rockrose.
{False myrrh}. See the Note under {Bdellium}.
