In quot. 1575 probably after bear's foot n. (compare sense 2 at that entry). In sense ‘spignel’ perhaps after Dutch or German (compare Dutch beerwortel (1554 in Dodoens), Middle Low German bērwort, bērenwort, Middle High German berwurz, berewurz, berenwurz (German Bärwurz), all denoting several umbelliferous plants, especially spignel); probably ultimately so called on account of the tufts of dry brown fibrous petioles found above the rootstock, supposed to resemble the fur of a bear (compare post-classical Latin radix ursi (13th cent. in Albertus Magnus)).

Now chiefly historical.
