| 词汇 | angelica |
| 词源 | angelica. According to one story, the Archangel Raphael as- sured a pious hermit that this plant was a remedy against the plague. This may account for the name angelica, which comes from the Latin herba angelica, “the angelic root,” or “root of the Holy Ghost,” and is first recorded in English in 1570. A confec- tion called candied angelica was made from its roots in early times. |
