Etymology of BOG RHUBARB

The term "bog rhubarb" is not derived from a single word, but rather a combination of words that describe a specific type of plant.

The word "bog" refers to a wetland area characterized by poor drainage and acidic, nutrient-poor soil. It comes from the Old Irish "bogach", meaning soft, marshy ground.

The word "rhubarb" refers to a group of plants belonging to the genus Rheum, commonly cultivated for their edible stalks. "Rhubarb" originated from the Latin "rheubarbarum", which was derived from the Greek "rheon barbaron", meaning "foreign rhubarb", as the plant was originally imported to Europe from Asia.

Therefore, when combined, "bog rhubarb" simply describes a type of rhubarb that grows in boggy or wetland areas.
