Answer: 
  Celery, carrot, dill, parsley, and fennel are all related
plants, but only "celery" and "parsley" are related words.
They both stem from the Greek word "selinon" which means
"celery." "Celery" began its journey to English when Latin
speakers adopted the Greek word. From Latin it passed into
Italian as "seleri," which was later adopted by French
speakers as "celeris." English speakers used the French word
to form "celery." "Parsley" traces to the Greek word
"petroselinon" which was formed by the combination of
"petros," meaning "stone," and "selinon." Latin speakers
adopted it as "petroselinum." It entered Old English as
"petersilie" and eventually became "persely" and finally
"parsley."
