Etymology
The word 'budded' originates from the Middle English term 'budde', which is derived from the Old French 'bode', meaning 'a shoot or a plant'. The French term itself is thought to come from a Proto-Germanic source, which relates to the action of swelling or bulging, much like how a bud forms on a plant. The concept of budding is essential in both botanical terminology and horticulture, where it indicates the beginning of new life and growth. Budding has also been used in various forms in different languages, referring to the process of developing or emerging into a new stage. Over time, 'bud' has become widely accepted in gardening and nature-related contexts, conveying the idea of fresh starts and the cycle of life.
