One of my favorite etymology stories is that la lavanda “lavender” is related to lavar “to wash” and la lavandería “laundromat”

Because people were like “ah yes the smell of lavender I’ll put that in my water when I wash clothes because it’ll smell nice oooh maybe I’ll put it in my bath” and eventually lavender just became “the washing flower”
