“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.”

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