Etymonline
Word Origin & History
botanic
1650s, from Fr. botanique (17c.) or M.L. botanicus, from Gk. botanikos "of herbs," from botane "a plant, grass, pasture, fodder." The Gk. words seems to have more to do with pasturage than plants; cf. related botamia "pastures, meadows," boter "herdsman," boton "grazing beast." Related: Botanical.
