From Wikipedia:
“Orchids get their name from the Greek orchis, meaning 'testicle',
from the appearance of subterranean tuberoids in some terrestrial
species. The word 'orchis' was first used by Theophrastos (372/371 -
287/286 BC), in his book "De historia plantarum" (The natural history
of plants). He was a student of Aristotle and is considered the father
of botany and ecology.”
