The word 'allseed' is formed from 'all' (from Old English 'eall', meaning every or whole) and 'seed' (from Old English 'sǣd', meaning the reproductive part of a plant). The term 'allseed' refers to a plant that produces seeds that can be used for various purposes, indicating a sense of completeness or wholeness in its reproductive capacity.
