Veronica \Ve*ron"i*ca\, n. [LL.; -- so called from Veronica, a
   woman who, according to an old legend, as Christ was carrying
   the cross, wiped his face with a cloth, which received an
   impression of his countenance; Veronica is fr. MGr. ?, fr.
   Macedonian ?, for Gr. ?, literally, carrying off victory,
   victorious.]
   1. A portrait or representation of the face of our Savior on
      the alleged handkerchief of Saint Veronica, preserved at
      Rome; hence, a representation of this portrait, or any
      similar representation of the face of the Savior. Formerly
      called also {Vernacle}, and {Vernicle}.

   2. (Bot.) A genus scrophulariaceous plants; the speedwell.
