Etymology

The word 'cichorium' is derived from the Latin term 'cichorium', which in turn comes from the Greek word 'kichorion' (kichorion), which is a diminutive of 'kichos'. The Greeks used this term to refer to various plants in the genus that were known for their edible leaves and roots. Over centuries, the term passed into medieval Latin and modern scientific nomenclature. This genus includes plants that have been cultivated for food since ancient times, especially in Mediterranean regions. Today, cichorium is primarily recognized for species such as chicory and endive, which continue to be integral to various culinary traditions worldwide.
