Definition
Rosemary is an evergreen herb with thin, needle-like leaves and a strong, pine-like smell, used to flavor foods like meats and breads. It is also used symbolically for remembrance in some cultures.
Etymology
From Latin *rosmarinus*, traditionally explained as *ros* “dew” + *marinus* “of the sea,” meaning “dew of the sea,” because it grows near the Mediterranean coast. The English form came through Old French.
Kelly Says
Rosemary’s name poetically means “dew of the sea,” as if the plant were permanently kissed by sea mist. Shakespeare even has a character say, “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance,” cementing its link to memory in English culture.
