Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'erbore', from Old French 'erbier', meaning a patch of grass or herb garden, based on the Latin 'herba' meaning grass or herb. Through folk etymology, the spelling and meaning shifted during the 16th century to be associated with trees and Latin 'arbor', transforming the definition from a grassy plot to a shaded leafy garden alcove.
