Q. What is "Cos" and "Romaine" lettuce?

A. It is a type of lettuce with thick leaves on erect plants. Most sources trace the origins of the word to the Greek island of Cos. It is from this island that lettuce is presumed to have been introduced. Others trace it to the Arabic word for lettuce, خس khus.

Another thought is that it reached the West via Rome. In Italian it is called Lattuga romana and in French Laitue romaine. Romaine is the common term in American English.
