"The word “rape” in rapeseed comes from the Latin word “rapum,” meaning turnip. Turnip, rutabaga, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, mustard and many other vegetables are related to the two canola varieties commonly grown, which are cultivars of Brassica napus and Brassica rapa. The negative associations due to the homonym “rape” resulted in creation of the more marketing-friendly name “canola.”[citation needed] The change in name also serves to distinguish it from regular rapeseed oil, which has much higher erucic acid content."
