A plant with an edible underground pod or seed, similar to a peanut or groundnut.
Compound of 'earth' (Old English eorthe) and 'pea' (from Middle English pease, ultimately from Latin pisum). Combines two root vegetable concepts into a single descriptive term.
Earthpea is a linguistic fossil—it shows how our ancestors literally described what they saw: something that looks like a pea but grows in the earth, which is pretty much how peanuts were named globally too.
