Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English plante, from Old English plante (young tree or shrub, herb newly planted), from *plantu, from Latin planta (sprout, shoot, cutting). Broader sense of "any vegetable life, vegetation generally" is from plante. clan (borrowed through Celtic languages) and planta (directly from Latin).
