A pansy is a type of violet. Its name is derived from the French word pensée, meaning “thought” or “remembrance.“ In William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the juice of the pansy flower is used as a Love Potion. In folklore, the pansy represents separated lovers. The slang term pansy can also refer to a cowardly person, or a weak and effeminate male. The face of a Persian cat, flat and squashed, is sometimes described as a “pansy face”, and may refer to Pansy Parkinson’s looks. Pan was the greek god of the wild, forests, nature, etc. His name means “all”, however the literal meaning in Ancient Greek of “Pan” is “rustic”.
