The genus name for horseradish plants, a pungent root vegetable in the mustard family.
Scientific Latin name, possibly derived from Italian 'armoracia' or German influences. Used as botanical taxonomy to classify horseradish species scientifically.
Horseradish gets its name from a mystery—'horse' may mean coarse or strong, not anything to do with actual horses—and its sharp bite contains volatile compounds that create actual nasal-clearing sensations when eaten.
