Note: The flowers are showy, and the fruit is sometimes highly esteemed (see {Granadilla}, and {Maypop}). The roots and leaves are generally more or less noxious, and are used in medicine.

Syn: {Passion}, {Feeling}, {Emotion}.
Usage: When any feeling or emotion completely masters the mind, we call it a passion; as, a passion for music, dress, etc.; especially is anger (when thus extreme) called passion. The mind, in such cases, is considered as having lost its self-control, and become the passive instrument of the feeling in question. [1913 Webster]
