Gernot Katzer's Spice Pages
Spice Names

(E?)(L?) http://gernot-katzers-spice-pages.com/engl/index.html

On these pages, I present solid information on (currently) 117 different spice plants. Emphasis is on their usage in ethnic cuisines, particularly in Asia; furthermore, I discuss their history, chemical constituents, and the etymology of their names. Last but not least, there are numerous photos featuring the live plants or the dried spices.

List of all spices:

    "Rosmarine": fabulous sea animal which was reported to climb by means of its teeth to the tops of rocks to feed upon the dew.


    (E?)(L?) https://www.etymonline.com/word/rosemary

    "rosemary" (n.), late 14c., earlier "rosmarine" (c. 1300), from Latin "rosmarinus", literally "dew of the sea" (compare French "romarin"), from "ros" "dew" + "marinus" "of the sea", "maritime", from "mare" "sea", "the sea", "seawater", from PIE root "*mori-" "body of water". Perhaps so called because it grew near coasts. Form altered in English by influence of "rose" and "Mary".

    Latin "ros" is from PIE "*ers-" "to be wet" (source also of Lithuanian "rasa", Old Church Slavonic "rosa" "dew", Sanskrit "rasah" "sap", "juice", "fluid", "essence", Hittite "arszi" "flows", and perhaps also "Rha", Scythian name of the River Volga (see "rhubarb")).

    rosemary (W3)

    Die Bezeichnung dt. "Rosmarin", frz. "romarin", ital. "Rosmarino", ndl. "Rozemarijn", engl. "Rosemary", lat.-bot. "Rosmarinus officinalis", setzt sich zusammen aus lat. "ros" = dt. "Tau" und lat. "marinus" = dt. "zum Meer gehörig" und heißt demnach wörtlich dt. "Tau des Meeres" - vielleicht dank der silbergrauen Unterseite seiner Blätter oder weil er im Tau des Meeres besonders gut wachsen soll.

    Das Adjektiv bot. "officinalis" drückt aus, dass es sich um eine Arzneipflanze handelt. Eine "Offizin" ist eine Apotheke bzw. deren Verkaufsraum.

    Die Herleitung dt. "Tau des Meeres" ist jedoch nicht unumstritten. So wird der wissenschaftliche Gattungsname "Rosmarinus" auch auf griech. "rhops" = dt. "Gebüsch" und griech. "myrinos" = dt. "wohlriechend" zurück geführt.


    "Rosemary" als Farbe: - #7d4d5d - Rosemary



    Aus einer nicht mehr aufrufbaren Quelle:


    "rosemary": The homely herb "rosemary" was originally called by the Latin name "ros marinus", "sea dew", because it was often found on the sea cliffs in southern France. But over the years ros sounded more like "rose" to English ears, and "marinus" suggested the common name "Mary". The herb was thus dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the word "rosemary" was recorded as early as 1440.

    This flowering shrub has contributed its dried leaves and stems to many recipes, and oils from its leaves and flowers figure in numerous potions and perfumes. Bouquets of rosemary, “emblematical of manly virtues,” were once presented to bridegrooms on their wedding mornings, and bridal beds are still bedecked with the flowers in certain Europe an countries to ensure conjugal bliss. Rosemary symbolizes remembrance, and Shakespeare’s Ophelia presented a bunch to Hamlet, perhaps to remind him of their meeting on Saint Valentine’s Day when the melancholy Dane “Let in the maid, that out a maid / Never departed more.”

    engl. "rosemary": The name of this herb has nothing to do with the "rose" or the name "Mary"; it is a corruption of "rosmarine", from the Latin term "rosmarinus", meaning "dew of the sea", alluding to the flourishing of the plant near coasts. ("Marinus", from which "marine" is derived, means "from the sea".)

    "Rosemary" ("Rosmarinus officinalis L.")

    Synonyms (View the names of this plant in 60 languages) ...
    Etymology

    In Latin tongue, the plant was called "rosmarinus"; most sources interpret this as made from "ros" "dew" (akin to Sanskrit "rasa" [??] "sap", "juice") and "marinus" "belonging to the sea" (from Latin "mare" "sea", derived from the Proto-Indo–European root "MORI" "water"; "lake"; cf. "marine" and "mermaid").

    Truly, "rosemary" often grows at low altitude and therefore near the sea. It does, however, not typically populate the coast, where the spray of sea water might motivate the name "dew of the sea". Possibly, the name refers not to the habitat but to the sea-blue flowers of "rosemary". It has been argued that "rosmarinus" itself is a product of folk etymology. Possible candidates for the original name are Greek "rhops" "shrub" and "myron" "balm", which make a good name for the aromatic plant, but pose more linguistic problems (see also nutmeg for the etymology of "myron"). Lastly, the Greek name of "sumac", "rhous", is sometimes set into relation with "rosmarinus".

    Most European languages have names for "rosemary" that still much resemble the original Latin "rosmarinus": German "Rosmarin", Finnish "rosmariini", Italian "ramerino", Spanish "romero", Basque "erromero", Albanian "rozmarinë", Serbo-Croatian "ružmarin", Bulgarian "rozmarin" and Greek "rozmari". In Greek, however, it is more common to call "rosemary" "dendrolivano", which literally mean "incense tree": "livani" incense" und "dendro tree". See also juniper for the linguistic affiliation of the latter.

    Arabic "al-iklil al-jabal" and Persian "eklil kuhi" both mean crown of the mountain, but I cannot get what these names is referring to. Shortened to "al-iklil" "the crown", the Arabic name is the source of the modern Portuguese name of "rosemary", "al­ecrim". See also "caper" for further Iberic loans of Arabic plant names. Strangely, there is a related herb whose name is also often connected to mountain without convincing semantic explanation: "oregano" is often suspected to derive Greek "oros" "mountain".

    "Rocío" and "Rosemary"

    Posted by Morgan on Apr 7, 2019 in Spanish, True Spanish Etymology Stories

    "Rocío" (Spanish for "dew", not to mention its cousin, "rociar", "to sprink or spray") comes the Latin "ros" ("dew".)

    From that same root, we get the English "rosemary", everyone’s favorite mint! "Rosemary" in fact comes from the Latin "rosmarinus" ("ros" – "marinus"), the "dew of the sea"!

    The "r-c" of "rocío" clearly maps to the "r-s" of "rosemary".

    2. Weird Words: "Roscid" [dt. "taufeucht"]

    Though Latin "ros", meaning "dew" or "light rain", has formed a number of English words, almost all of them have become either obsolete or so rare that you will seek them in vain in dictionaries.

    "Roscid", for example, means "dewy":
    ...
    "Rorid" also means "dewy", deriving from "ror-", the inflected form of "ros". So does "rore" (with its adjective "roral"). "Rore" is even rarer than the others, now known solely because Shakespeare used it in Timon of Athens ("My words neither aspersed or inspersed with the flore or rore of eloquence.") Others from the same source include "roriferous", "bringing or bearing dew", and "rorigenous", "produced by dew". This last word seems to have appeared nowhere else but Nathan Bailey's Dictionarium Britannicum of 1730. The final item in this dusty exhibit of unloved lexicography is "irrorate", "to bedew or sprinkle with dew".

    Another descendent of "ros" that's still in use is "rosolio", a sweet cordial of Italy which is sold commercially under brand names such as Cinzano and Martini. That name is an alteration of "ros solis", "the dew of the sun", not as a highfalutin romantic name but because in its early days one ingredient was the juice of the sundew plant. Later it became "rosa solis", "rose of the sun", because rose petals were substituted for sundew.

    Confusion between "ros" and "rosa" has been endemic: "rosa solis" was also at one time the name of some species of sundew. And, though few know it, the plant called "rosemary" derives its name not from the "rose" but from the "dew"; its Latin name was "ros marinus", "sea dew", because its natural habitat is sea cliffs.
