So, if I said I needed some "spear-leek," you might be scratching your head. But did you know that garlic originates from Old English gārlēac, which literally means "spear-leek"? Cool, right?
There are intriguing cases, such as Albanian, Greek, and Armenian, where the words are thought to share a common origin, although the precise root remains unidentified, probably of the form *skʰodoro.
