rhubarb · plant with red stems you cook
nounOne way to hold this branch: a plant that arrived from far away. Above the ground, broad leaves and thick red stems; under the ground, a short brown-yellow root. The stems are sour and are cooked with sugar. The root is bitter and is dried for medicine. One plant, two parts, two uses.
From the word’s history
The name probably comes from Greek rhêon barbarikón, the rhubarb of foreign lands, because the plant reached Europe from far away along the trade routes.
這個名字很可能來自希臘文 rhêon barbarikón，字面是「外邦的大黃」，因為它是沿著貿易路線從遠方運到歐洲的。這也解釋了為什麼「藥材」那一面比「甜點」那一面更早。

rhubarb · background crowd murmur
noun, verbOne way to hold this branch: actors at the back of a stage, each the same word over and over — rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb. No hard , no clear vowel, so the voices blur into one another. Everything here grows out of that: sound you can hear but cannot make out.
From the word’s history
This branch is traced to the London stage around 1852, where Charles Kean's company had actors repeat the word to imitate indistinct conversation; the word was chosen because it has no harsh consonants and no clear vowels.
這一支的來源記載在一八五○年代的倫敦劇場：Charles Kean 的劇團讓演員反覆念 rhubarb 來模仿聽不清的談話聲，挑這個字正是因為它沒有刺耳的子音，也沒有清楚的母音。
