Etymology

The word 'rosemary' comes from the Latin term 'rosmarinus', which is a combination of 'ros' meaning 'dew' and 'marinus' meaning 'sea', literally translating to 'dew of the sea'. This is likely in reference to the herb's natural habitat near the sea in the Mediterranean region. Rosemary has been used since ancient times, both as a culinary herb and for its medicinal properties. It was commonly associated with remembrance and fidelity, often used in funerals and weddings throughout history. The Greeks and Romans believed rosemary could enhance memory, making it a popular plant for students. Over the centuries, rosemary has been cultivated and appreciated for its flavor and health benefits, remaining a staple herb in many cultures worldwide.
