'anise-flavored' originates from the word 'anise,' which comes from Latin 'anisum,' derived from Greek 'anison,' where 'anison' referred to the anise plant known for its aromatic seeds.

'anise' changed from the Greek word 'anison' to the Latin 'anisum,' and eventually became the modern English word 'anise.'

Initially, it referred to the plant itself, but over time it evolved to describe the flavor associated with the plant's seeds.
