Definition: "Cressida" refers to a specific type of tree in the family Arecaceae, commonly known as "Cress." It's also known as "Babylonia," "Gardenia", or "Daisy." "The word 'cressida' is derived from the Latin name, cress, which itself comes from the Old French words carces, meaning "green grass" (caris), and idem, meaning "with" (idem). It was used to describe a tree of green leaves. The specific tree type 'Cressia', known as Cress, is named after this word." The term can also mean "a blossoming flower" or "a flowering plant," particularly in the context of flowers of various species and genera in many parts of the world.
