herbal
UK: ˈhɜːbəl | US: ˈɜːrbəl
adj. relating to or made from herbs
n. a book or manual describing herbs and their uses
The word "herbal" originates from the Latin herba (meaning "grass" or "green crops"), which passed into Old French as herbe before entering Middle English. The suffix -al (from Latin -alis) denotes "pertaining to," forming an adjective. Thus, "herbal" literally means "related to herbs." Historically, herbals were books documenting medicinal plants, reflecting the word’s dual role as both adjective and noun.
