prettygoodwordborecole (BOHR-kohl) - n., kale.
That is, another name for that any of several varieties of cabbage (Brassica oleracea acephala) whose leaves do not form a compact head. The alternate name was borrowed around 1710 from Dutch boerenkool, farmer's cabbage, from boer, farmer, peasant + kool, cabbage (ultimately from the same root as kale: Latin caulis = stalk, cabbage).
