Etymology
'apical-blooming' originates from the combination of 'apical,' derived from Latin 'apex,' meaning 'tip' or 'summit,' and 'blooming,' from Old English 'blōma,' meaning 'flower.'
'apical' changed from the Latin word 'apex' to the modern English 'apical,' and 'blooming' evolved from Old English 'blōma' to its current form.
Initially, 'apical' meant 'pertaining to the tip,' and 'blooming' meant 'flowering.' The combined term 'apical-blooming' specifically refers to flowering at the tip.
