Answer:
The name is derived from Latin and means "dew of the sea." this is because the plant is indigenous to the Mediterranean area. It has a slender leaf resembling pine needles and has a distinctive fresh flavor. Italian cooks are devoted to rosemary, which is said to grow only in the gardens of the righteous.
