Etymology of FALSE CHAMOMILE

The word "false chamomile" is a compound term that combines two distinct parts.

"False" comes from the Old English word "fals", which means deceitful or not genuine. It ultimately traces back to the Latin word "falsus", meaning falsified, deceptive, or untrue. In the context of "false chamomile", it refers to the fact that this plant is not a true chamomile but resembles it in appearance.

"Chamomile", on the other hand, originated from the Latin word "chamomilla", which originated from the Greek word "khamaimēlon". "Khamai" means on the ground, while "mēlon" means apple. Therefore, the ancient Greeks named this herb "khamaimēlon" due to its aromatic apple-like fragrance.
