About This Root

From Latin hortus (garden). Primarily found in horticulture (the art of garden cultivation) and its derivatives horticulturist and horticultural. Note that exhort (to urge strongly) comes from a different Latin root, hortārī (to encourage), not from hortus — despite the spelling overlap.
