【The Flover Language】- Lavender
The English word lavender is generally believed to be derived from Old French lavandre, which itself is ultimately derived from the Latin lavare (to wash). It is thought to refer to the use of infusions of the plants. The botanic name Lavandula is considered to be derived from this and other European vernacular names for the plants. However the authenticity of this explanation is sometimes doubted, and the name may actually be derived from Latin livere, which means “blueish”.
