Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the French word bouquet, which stems from the Old French bosquet meaning a little wood or grove, ultimately originating from the Late Latin boscus. By the 17th century, the meaning shifted from a cluster of trees to an assembled bunch of flowers, and later expanded metaphorically to describe pleasant aromas in wine.
