the spice that secretly makes maple syrup, then frames your sweat for the crime.
means A small leguminous herb whose aromatic seeds and leaves are used as a spice and in herbal medicine, prized for a sweet, maple-like aroma that can linger in the body.
from From the Latin faenum graecum, literally "Greek hay" — the Romans named it for the way the dried plant smelled like fragrant fodder, and for its association with Greek lands. That Latin phrase wandered through Old French (fenugrec) before settling into English, still carrying its old farmyard hay inside the name.
