The word 'pepper' is dervied from the South Asian word 'pippali'. Pippali (long pepper) is a famous herb in Ayurveda for lung and heart conditions, and is a close relative of black pepper. The word pepper gradually came to include the unrelated New World Peppers (bell peppers, chilis, etc). The word 'pep' is derived from the energizing, spirited qualities of black pepper. Black pepper is native to Southeast Asia. Black pepper was a highly prized commodity in the West, and referred to as black gold.
