[ gdw]

[ FEW: 9,648b pyrethum; Gdf: 6,67c pelestre 1; GdfC: ; TL: 7,592 pelestre; DEAF:  pelestre; DMF:  pelestre; TLF: ; OED:  pelleter n.2; MED:  peltre n.; DMLBS: 2168c pelestricum ]

According to the OED, Classical Latin pyrethrum (producing piretre, pelestre and petre1) and Medieval Latin parietaria (producing peritorie) became confused early, resulting in a semantic overlap between the two word-families. However, the association with ‘creeping thyme’, suggested by thirteenth-century glosses and also attested for petre1, remains unclear.
