In fact, that is where the name lavender comes from: the Latin word lavare, meaning "to wash." During the Middle Ages in Europe, some criminals who looted the belongings of plague victims were rarely affected by the disease themselves. When caught, the robbers credited their health to cleansing with "Four Thieves Vinegar" after their "work" was done. Legend has it that they were released after sharing that the secret of their "Vinegar" was lavender oil.
