Spearmint is named for its spear-shaped leaves, which are characteristic of the plant. The term "mint" comes from the Latin word "mentha," referencing the plant's aromatic properties. Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is known for its sweet, refreshing flavor, distinct from other mint varieties like peppermint. The combination of the shape and the aromatic qualities led to its common name.
