Celery or a related plant from the Apiaceae family, particularly used in Spanish and Portuguese.
From Latin 'apium' (celery), which itself may derive from a pre-Indo-European Mediterranean language, preserved in Romance languages as apio/apium.
Celery was used medicinally by ancient Greeks and Romans before anyone thought of eating it as food—it was only treated as a vegetable much later, showing how culinary uses change over time.
