[ NL., fr. Sp. vainilla, dim. of Sp. vaina a sheath, a pod, L. vagina; because its grains, or seeds, are contained in little pods.] [ 1913 Webster] 1. ( Bot.) A genus of climbing orchidaceous plants, natives of tropical America. [ 1913 Webster] 2. The long podlike capsules of { Vanilla planifolia}, and { Vanilla claviculata}, remarkable for their delicate and agreeable odor, for the volatile, odoriferous oil extracted from them; also, the flavoring extract made from the capsules, extensively used in confectionery, perfumery, etc. [ 1913 Webster] Note: As a medicine, vanilla is supposed to possess powers analogous to valerian, while, at the same time, it is far more grateful. [ 1913 Webster] { Cuban vanilla}, a sweet- scented West Indian composite shrub ({ Eupatorium Dalea}). { Vanilla bean}, the long capsule of the vanilla plant. { Vanilla grass}. Same as { Holy grass}, under { Holy}. [ 1913 Webster] 1. ( Default flavour of ice cream in the US) Ordinary
{ flavour}, standard. When used of food, very often does not
mean that the food is flavoured with vanilla extract! For
example, " vanilla wonton soup" means ordinary wonton soup, as
opposed to hot- and- sour wonton soup. Applied to hardware and
software, as in " Vanilla { Version 7} { Unix} can' t run on a
vanilla { PDP 11}/ 34." Also used to orthogonalise chip
nomenclature; for instance, a 74V00 means what TI calls a
7400, as distinct from a 74LS00, etc. This word differs from
{ canonical} in that the latter means " default", whereas
vanilla simply means " ordinary". For example, when hackers go
to a chinese restaurant, hot- and- sour wonton soup is the
{ canonical} wonton soup to get ( because that is what most of
them usually order) even though it isn' t the vanilla wonton
soup.
