Nguồn gốc từ

Middle English gingere, alteration of gingivere, from Old English gingifer, gingiber (influenced by gingembre), from gingiber, zingiber, from Latin zingiberi, from Late Ancient Greek ζιγγίβερις, from 𑀲𑀺𑀁𑀕𑀺𑀯𑁂𑀭, ultimately from 𑀇𑀜𑁆𑀘𑀺𑀯𑁂𑀭𑁆, a compound of 𑀇𑀜𑁆𑀘𑀺 (ginger) and 𑀯𑁂𑀭𑁆 (root) (compare modern, from இஞ்சி (ginger) + வேர் (root)).
