Abstract:

According to the Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary, the origin of the Bulgarian adjective rãsov (attested in rãsova bilka ‘plant used for healing cut wounds’) is obscure. However, the word might be derived from Bulgarian *rãs(t), corresponding to Slovak dial. rost', rast' ‘caraway (Carum carvi)’ which has been convincingly explained by the Slovak dialectologist A. Habovštiak (1958)
