Ginger or ginger root is the rhizome of the
plant Zingiber officinale , consumed as a
delicacy , medicine, or spice . It lends its
name to its genus and family
( Zingiberaceae ). Other notable members of
this plant family are turmeric, cardamom,
and galangal. The distantly related dicots in
the Asarum genus have the common name
wild ginger because of their similar taste.
Ginger cultivation began in South Asia and
has since spread to East Africa and the
Caribbean .[2]
Etymology
The English name ginger comes from
French: gingembre, Old English: gingifere,
Medieval Latin: gingiber , Greek: zingíberis.
(ζιγγίβερις). Ultimately the origin is from
the Dravidian word inchi-ver . The botanical
term for root is ver , hence inchi root or
inchi-ver. [3]
