Excerpt from The Illustrated Botany, Vol. 1: Comprising the Most Valuable Native and Exotic Plants, With Their History, Medicinal Properties, Etc.; To Which Is Added an Introduction on Physiology, and a View of the Natural and Linnæan Systems

The greater part of our botanical names are derived from the Greek, that language being from its structure an exceedingly convenient one for the composition of technical terms. Botany is derived from a word signifying a herb or grass, itself derived from another word, meaning to feed, because grass is the chief food of the animals most useful to man.
