Where this word comes from
From okse (“ox”) + tunge (“tongue”), literally “ox tongue”. In the botanical sense, the name refers to the shape and roughness of the leaves; compare Latin buglossa (“ox tongue”), from Ancient Greek βούγλωσσον (boúglōsson, “ox tongue”). Parallel formations include Norwegian Nynorsk oksetunge, Danish oksetunge, Swedish oxtunga, German Ochsenzunge, Dutch ossentong, and English oxtongue.
