What does Cilantro (Italian) mean?

It's actually from Spanish, per Merriam-Webster:

Etymology: Spanish, coriander, from Medieval Latin celiandrum, alteration of Latin coriandrum -- more at CORIANDER

Although actually there is no relevant information at coriander.

Cilantro being the leaves of the coriander plant, that is.

I just realized this was on ILBooks and not ILCooking! Is there some book called "Cilantro (Italian)" that is famous and inscrutible and all the rage that I don't know about, maybe?

not really, not that I know of, at least here in Italy...
