"herba" meaning in Latin

See herba in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈher.ba/ [Classical], [ˈhɛrbä] [Classical], /ˈer.ba/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈɛrbä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʰer-dʰ, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰreh₁- (“to grow, become green”), and compared to grāmen (“grass, turf”) and English grass. However, de Vaan is skeptical of this derivation, preferring to reconstruct *gʰreh₁- as *ǵʰreh₁- instead, noting that *gʰer-dʰ cannot be derived from *ǵʰreh₁-, and leaves the origin open.
