Borrowed from Latin būglōssa (“oxtongue, bugloss”), from Ancient Greek βούγλωσσον (boúglōsson, “ox tongue; bugloss”), itself from βοῦς (boûs, “ox”) + γλῶσσα (glôssa, “tongue”). Literally “ox tongue”; the plant name refers to the shape and roughness of its leaves. Compare Catalan buglossa, French buglosse, English bugloss, and Portuguese buglossa (“bugloss”).
