A botanical garden, greenhouse, or collection of flowering plants; a place devoted to cultivating and displaying flowers and ornamental plants.
A Latinized form combining 'flor-' (flower) with the Latin suffix '-etum' (a place for), similar to 'arboretum' (a place for trees) or 'herbarium.'
The '-etum' suffix mirrors how we name institutional plant collections—arboreums for trees, herbaria for pressed plants—showing how Latin structured scientific nomenclature.
