From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Laurel \Lau"rel\, n. [OE. lorel, laurer, lorer, OF. lorier,
      laurier, F. laurier, (assumed) LL. Laurarius, fr. L. laurus.]
      1. (Bot.) An evergreen shrub, of the genus {Laurus} ({L.
            nobilis}), having aromatic leaves of a lanceolate shape,
            with clusters of small, yellowish white flowers in their
            axils; -- called also {sweet bay}.
  
      Note: The fruit is a purple berry. It is found about the
               Mediterranean, and was early used by the ancient Greeks
               to crown the victor in the games of Apollo. At a later
               period, academic honors were indicated by a crown of
               laurel, with the fruit. The leaves and tree yield an
               aromatic oil, used to flavor the bay water of commerce.
  
      Note: The name is extended to other plants which in some
               respect resemble the true laurel. See Phrases, below.
  
      2. A crown of laurel; hence, honor; distinction; fame; --
            especially in the plural; as, to win laurels.

            the king's head on it was crowned with laurel.
