Etymology 1 edit
Uncertain. Possibly:
- From Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“tip, point”), whence also Latin far (“emmer, spelt”), Proto-Germanic *baraz (“barley”) and Proto-Slavic *boršьno (“flour”).[1][2]
- Akin to Ancient Greek φάρμακον (phármakon, “drug, medicine”), from a tentative common Proto-Indo-European root *bʰer- (“cure with herbs”).[3][4]
- From Proto-Indo-European *bʰewH- (“to grow”), whence also Ancient Greek φυτόν (phutón, “plant”), Old Armenian բոյս (boys, “plant”).[5]
Sense 4 is likely a semantic loan from English weed, French herbe or Italian erba.
