cikorio - Herbo de la specio Cichorium intybus. El cikorio oni povas fari anstataŭaĵon de kafo. Angle: chicory, succory; Germane: die Zichorie. Another German word is Wegwart, or Wegewart. I haven't yet figured out its etymology, but poems at Gedichte zur Wegwarte play on the meanings of Wegwart (chicory), der Weg (way, path, walk), warten (to wait), and die Warte (vantage point, point of view)... Ich warte auf ihn am Wege, warte am Wege, Wegewart!
