Abstract
The article focuses on the relationship between etymology and ethnolinguistics. The two fields come to foreground in analyses of dialectal plant names, especially of their origin.

Those findings help determine the historical semantic motivation of the words being studied. Ethnolinguists, in turn, on the basis of etymological findings, arrive at the original senses of words, helpful in analysing their subjective meanings.
