Etymologia (Angielski)

Dziedziczone z średnioangielski: turnepe

Dziedziczone z średnioangielski: nepe

Dziedziczone z staroangielski: nǣp

In summary

From Middle English turnepe, probably from turn + Middle English nepe, from Old English nǣp, from Latin nāpus. The component turn may be due to the round shape of the plant as though turned on a lathe, or because it must be turned and twisted to be harvested. Cognate to neep. See also parsnip.
