Shat means “100” and vri means “root” so Shatavari, pronounced shat-aa-vree, means the 100 rooted one, and indeed a typical Shatavari plant has hundreds of foot long white juicy nutritious roots. One of the many words for husband, vari is derived from the tendency of husband being the root of a family, and so Shatavari is often translated as “100 husbands.”
