Inspiration has to take priority over the spelling, even if the word is easily transcribed, and so the editor thinks the correct word is Endive or Chicory. Endive is a leaf vegetable belonging to the genus Cichorium, which includes several similar, bitter, leafed vegetables. Species include Cichorium endivia (also called endive), Cichorium pumilum (also called wild endive), and Cichorium intybus (also called common chicory).
