Attested since early 17th century. === Noun === calamint (countable and uncountable, plural calamints) Any species of aromatic garden herb of the genus Calamintha, now often included in Clinopodium. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === References === “calamint”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.
