Chebog

/ˈtʃɛbɔɡ/ noun

Definition

A plant, possibly a variant of chervil or a regional name for a local herb used in cooking or medicine.

Etymology

Etymology uncertain; possibly from Slavic or Eastern European languages, or a dialectal name. The term appears rarely in English botanical or culinary records and may represent a lost or regional plant name.

Kelly Says

Words like 'chebog' that pop up in old dictionaries but have no clear meaning are linguistic mysteries—they're often regional plant names that died out when people stopped using that local herb or dialect. They're snapshots of forgotten knowledge.
