ört

See also: ORT, Ort, and ort

Swedish

Etymology

From Old Norse urt, oblique case form of Proto-Germanic *wrōts, from Proto-Indo-European *wrd- (“root”).

Compare with English wort and the Latin rādīx (“root”). Cognate with the Icelandic rót; Old English rōt (whence Middle English root (“the underground part of a plant”), whence English root).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈœ̞ʈː]
• (nonstandard, nonetheless common) IPA^(key): [ˈɵʈː]

Noun

ört c

1. herb, herbaceous plant

Usage notes

Compared to English, ört often focuses more on the plant aspect in Swedish, as herbs are already included in krydda (“seasoning; culinary herbs and spices”). "Krydda med örter" (season with herbs) and the like sounds natural in Swedish as well though.
