It is a compound from the Greek words oros (mountain) and ganos (joy), i.e. 'joy of the mountain', probably due to the fact that the oregano roots prohibit the washing of the mountain slopes by rain or just by its fantastic smell. In any case, those who have visited Greece, where oregano covers the hillsides and scents the summer air, would probably agree with this name.Riganihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16783010119671426391noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836493851379186675.post-893475293421966692009-04-04T14:21:00.000-04:002009-04-04T14:24:49.660-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fSdej2WYGr0/SdelqLd72CI/AAAAAAAAACM/Bdjtdi3dp3w/s1600-h/rania%27s+073.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fSdej2WYGr0/SdelqLd72CI/AAAAAAAAACM/Bdjtdi3dp3w/s320/rania%27s+073.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320903628812965922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"><span style="font-family: courier new;">This is one of my daughter's experiments.
