From a post-classical genitive of ձագ(jag, “young of an animal; in modern dialects also swarm of bees”) + դեղ(deł, “herb”). For the sense development compare Turkishoğul otu(“lemon balm”), from oğul(“son; descendant; swarm of bees”) and ot(“grass, herb”). Note that the plant's scientific name Melissa is derived from the Greek word meaning "honeybee", owing to the abundance of nectar in the flower. See also ձագախոտ(jagaxot).
