Etymology and pronunciation

The name "Liliaceae" (English: / ˌ l ɪ l i ˈ eɪ s i, - s i ˌ aɪ, - s i ˌ eɪ, - s i ˌ i /) comes to international scientific vocabulary from Neo-Latin, from Lilium, the type genus, + -aceae, a standardized suffix for plant family names in modern taxonomy. The genus name comes from the Classical Latin word lilium, "lily", which in turn came from the Greek leírion (λείριον).
