Definition
A type of green onion or scallion, particularly a variety that forms small bulbs.
Etymology
From French 'ciboule,' derived from Latin 'cepa' (onion) + 'ala' (wing or side), literally 'wing-onion.' The term may also relate to Spanish 'cebolla' through similar roots.
Kelly Says
Ciboule is what European gardeners call certain scallions that want to be onions—they're the fancy cousin of regular green onions, forming bulbs if you let them grow. French cooks still call them ciboulettes.
