Etymology of Plantago coronopus subspecies commutata: The name "Plantago" derives from the Latin "planta", which means "sole" or "flat", and the suffix "-ago", meaning "resemblance", hence "resembling a sole" alluding to the leaf shape of the original plant that was the reason for the genus to be named as such. . "Coronopus" derives from Ancient Greek "κορωνόπους", and more specifically from "κορώνη", meaning "crow" and "πους", meaning "foot/leg", hence its leaves resemble "the foot of the crow". "Commutata" is Latin meaning "switched, commuted".
