Re: Online Etymology Dictionary; Plant names

Thanks so much for the site. I love words. Years ago I made a major investment in the Oxford Etymological Dictionary of the English Language, and I've never regretted it. Another favorite is Latin for Gardeners.

Online Etymology Dictionary
http://www.etymonline.com/

"Etymologies are not definitions; they're explanations of what our words meant and how they sounded 600 or 2,000 years ago." The Online Etymology Dictionary can be quite useful in deciphering species names and epithets.
