KBC 14: The English name for which of these items has its origin in an Indian language?
Options:
Ginger
Banana
Pumpkin
Coffee
Answer: Ginger
The generic name of ginger is Zingiber officinale, which some suggest owes its origin to a Sanskrit word Sringavera which means ‘with antlers’, referring to the odd shape of the plant’s root. The word root is, however, technically a misnomer because ginger is an underground stem and hence a rhizome.
