The term "sweet potato" likely arose from a combination of its sweetness and its resemblance to the potato. While not related to the potato, the sweet potato was originally called "batata" by Indigenous people in the Americas, which Europeans adopted as "batata" or "potato" upon discovery. The word "sweet" was added later to differentiate it from the starchy "Irish potato" and emphasize its characteristic taste. Over time, "sweet potato" became the commonly accepted name.
