/ˈpepəmɪnt//ˈpepərmɪnt/The word "peppermint" is derived from two Latin words: "piper" meaning pepper and "mentha" meaning mint. The term "peppermint" was first used in the 16th century to describe a species of mint (Mentha piperita) that had a peppery flavor and aroma. This species of mint was native to Europe and was often used in cooking and medicine. The name "peppermint" likely referred to the plant's strong, pungent flavor, which was reminiscent of black pepper. Over time, the term "peppermint" has come to refer to a variety of mints with a similar flavor and aroma, including those cultivated for use in candies, teas, and other products.
