Etymology
Possibly from mul la-new *herniāria f en herniary, relating to a en hernia. This etymology may draw a conceptual cognate with en rupturewort, since hernias are a medical disorder in which a part of the body ruptures into elsewhere abnormally. Both are possibly named after the genus' usage to treat hernias. If so, cognate with en herniary.
