(Intro & Piano music)There are mentions in Ancient Greek texts of a plant's root used to ease Asthma and inflammation. It grows in Northern Greece(among other places in the world) and there's even a village named after it. Γλυκό means 'sweet', ρίζα means 'root'. The word travelled to Italy and then France-where the spelling used in America comes from. In fact, both spellings were used until the 1700 where the British spelling took over for a couple of centuries before it got separated for good; there's also a pronunciation inconsistency, the word doesn't end with 'sh' but still, that's how we pronounce it and that's because, in Cooper's Grammatica Linguae Agglicanae that was published in 1685 it was written that way. This word has a fascinating pronunciation history in the States and I highly recommend reading all about it.
