Pastinaca sativa is the scientific name familiar to botanists, while the rest of us know it as #Parsnip. This term is widely recognized across different languages. Both the common name and the scientific designation trace their origins back to the Latin word pastinaca, which itself is derived from pastinum. The Iberian languages stand out as one of the largest groups that prefer the Arabic term for caraway: كَرَاوِيَا (karāwiyā).
