Oregano is the anglicized form of the Italian word origano, which is also a derivation from the Greek origanon &#8000;&#961;&#943;&#947;&#945;&#957;&#959;&#957; oros &#8004;&#961;&#959;&#962; "mountain" + the verb ganousthai &#947;&#945;&#957;&#959;&#8166;&#963;&#952;&#945;&#953; "delight in" Also known as wild marjoram and adding more confusion to the mix is the close relationship between marjoram (Origanum majorana) and oregano, which naturally means they also look very much alike
