The fruit is known as the “bur” – a rough and hairy sphere that will attach itself to anything in the vicinity to spread its seed. “Dock” comes from the German name for large leaves, and this plant can grow to a robust height of up to 9 feet, with the roots able to reach 3 feet down into the ground.
The generic name "arctium" is derived from the Greek word for bear or arktos, and the species name, "lappa" is from the Latin word lappare which means "to seize."
