Etymology
The word 'mallow' originates from the Old English 'malwe', which in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic '*malthwล', referring to the same group of plants. The Latin word 'malva' is also a significant contributor to the term, from which many of the modern names for mallow plants in various languages are derived. Historically, mallow plants have been recognized for their beneficial properties, including their medicinal uses by ancient cultures. They were used for treating ailments like coughs and digestive issues. The rich history of cultivating these plants spans back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who admired their beauty and utility in culinary applications.
