Etymology

**Etymology of “roquette” (noun, French)** The term comes from the Italian *rocchetta* (diminutive of *rocca* “rock”), a metaphor for the vegetable’s firm, “rock‑like” texture. *Rocca* itself derives from Latin *rocca*, meaning a rocky outcrop. The word entered French in the 18th century, adopting the spelling “roquette.”
