Etymology
Originally from the Ancient Greek which literally meant "earth apple". From chami, on the ground and milon or apple. So called because of the applelike scent of the plant. In Latin, chamoemelon and later chamomilla, it comes to English through the French, camomille.
Note: The "ch-" spelling is used especially in science and pharmacology.
