Etymology
Romanian "plantă" comes from Latin "planta", which first meant a sprout or cutting and, separately, the sole of the foot. The two senses are linked: a young shoot was pressed into the soil to root it, much as a foot presses flat on the ground. The word entered Romanian through the general Latin inheritance of the language, reinforced later by French "plante", which shaped its modern scientific and everyday use.
