Etymology of BOUQUETS

The word "bouquet" originated from the Old French word "bouquet" or "bouquetel", which were derived from the Latin word "bunchum" or "bosquetum", meaning a small bunch or cluster of flowers or plants. The term "bunchum" ultimately traces back to the Frankish word "bundjo", meaning to bind or tie, emphasizing the action of gathering flowers and tying them together in a bunch. Over time, "bouquet" evolved to refer specifically to a collection of arranged flowers, often gifted or displayed for aesthetic or celebratory purposes.
