Random information on the term “YAM”:
Yam is the common name for some plant species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae) that form edible tubers.Yams are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in many temperate and tropical regions, especially in West Africa, South America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Oceania. The tubers themselves, also called “yams”, come in a variety of forms owing to numerous cultivars and related species.
Yams were independently domesticated on three different continents: Africa (Dioscorea rotundata), Asia (Dioscorea alata), and the Americas (Dioscorea trifida).
The name “yam” appears to derive from Portuguese inhame or Canarian (Spain) ñame, which derived from West African languages during trade. However in both languages, this name commonly refers to the taro plant (Colocasia esculenta) from the genus Colocasia, as opposed to Dioscorea.
The main derivations borrow from verbs meaning “to eat”. True yams have various common names across multiple world regions.
