Simplified etymology

Bouquet comes from a French word that originally meant “clump of trees” and is related to Late Latin boscus, “wood.” It entered English in the early 18th century meaning “bunch of flowers”; its use for the aroma of wine dates from the mid-19th century.

Borrowed from French Bouquet.
