'bouquet' originates from French, specifically the word 'bouquet', where 'bosquet' (a diminutive of Old French 'bosc'/'boscus') meant 'small grove' or 'thicket'.

'bouquet' changed from Middle/Old French 'bosquet' meaning 'little grove' and entered English in the early 17th century as 'bouquet' to describe a bunch of flowers.

Initially, it meant 'small grove' or 'thicket', but over time it evolved into its current primary meaning of 'a bunch of flowers' and later extended metaphorically to mean 'a wine's aroma'.
