			'''Marjoram''' (''[[Origanum]] majorana'', [[Lamiaceae]]) is a somewhat cold-sensitive [[perennial plant\|perennial]] [[herb]] or undershrub with sweet [[pine]] and [[citrus]] flavours. It is also called '''Sweet Marjoram''', '''Knotted Marjoram''' or '''Majorana hortensis'''.

			The name marjoram ([[Old French]] majorane, [[Medieval Latin]] majorana) does not directly derive from the Latin word ''maior'' (major).<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=marjoram Marjoram], Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper, November 2001</ref> Marjoram is indigenous to the Mediterranean area and was known to the Greeks and Romans as a symbol of happiness.

			Marjoram is cultivated for its aromatic leaves, either green or dry, for [[culinary]] purposes; the tops are cut as the plants begin to flower and are dried slowly in the shade. It is often used in herb combinations such as [[Herbes de Provence]] and [[Za'atar]].

			Although considered cold-sensitive, marjoram can sometimes prove hardy even in [[hardiness zone\|zone 5]].
