Definition
A tropical plant with edible roots, or a sweet carbonated drink flavored to taste like this plant, popular in American folk culture and old-fashioned root beers.
Etymology
From Spanish 'zarzaparilla,' combining 'zarza' (bramble, from Arabic) and 'parilla' (vine). The plant originated in Central and South America and was brought to Europe by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s.
Kelly Says
Sarsaparilla was actually believed to cure syphilis when it was first brought to Europe—it became like the original miracle drug! The root beer industry adopted the flavor profile to create sarsaparilla sodas, turning a medicine into a playground favorite.
