Etymology
Coriander for the spice comes from an old Greek name koriannon, which may be linked to koris 'bedbug' because of the plant's strong smell, but the dried seeds have a warm, citrus taste and are used whole or ground as a spice. So, the old name that once pointed to the smell now labels the lemony seeds we cook with.
