Example Sentences

Not wasting a good source-word, ancient plant-namers also transformed hendibeh into the related endive (Cichorium endiva).

In like manner, there can be little doubt that the specific terms Endivia and Intybus, are both derived from the Arabic name hendibeh.

The specific name, Intybus, is a modification of another Eastern name for the plant, hendibeh; and the endive of the garden, the C. endivia of science, an allied but foreign species, derives both its common and specific names from the same word.
