==Etymology==
The word "chamomile" derives, via French and Latin, from Greek χαμαίμηλον (), i.e. "earth apple", from χαμαί (''khamai'') "on the ground" and μῆλον (''mēlon'') "apple".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 The more common British spelling "camomile," is the older in English, while the spelling "chamomile" corresponds to the Latin and Greek source.〔Oxford English Dictionary, online edition, entry "camomile | chamomile"〕 The spelling ''camomile'' more accurately corresponds to the more immediate derivation from French.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chamomile - Define Chamomile at Dictionary.com )〕
