    How did witch hazel get the name?

    Question #77373. Asked by tjoebigham. (Mar 17 07 5:52 AM)

    		The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from the Old English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable". Hazel is derived from the use of the twigs as divining rods, just as hazel twigs were used in England.
