| 词源 | radish. The easy-to-grow radish (Raphanus sativus) takes its scientific name from its Greek name, raphanes, “easily reared.” Radish itself comes from the Latin radix, “root.” The Greeks so valued the radish that they made small replicas of radishes in gold, while creating images of their other vegetables in lead or silver. The French call the radish by the poetic name roses d’hiver, “roses of winter.” See rabage. |
