Sage

Niche
“the healing herb, or wise”
Where it's from
Latin, two separate words: the herb, from Latin salvia ('healthy, safe'), and the adjective 'wise', from Latin sapere ('to taste, to be wise')
Why It's Charming
Sage is unusual because a kitchen herb and an old word for a wise person share one spelling but come from different Latin roots.
