- "The next ingredient is chopped Pungous Onion. Chop carefully before adding. Be sure to pick up the pieces with your wand, not your hands, as the ingredient is very pungent!"
- — Zygmunt Budge, Book of Potions[src]
Pungous Onion was a magical plant comprised of a swathe of green leaves and an orange elongated bulb at the base. It was very pungent, and, because of this, contact with freshly chopped Pungous Onions was not advised. Chopping these onions seemed to create an eye irritation that made one cry.[1]
Pungous Onions had magical properties that made them useful as an ingredient in Potion-making: they were an ingredient in Zygmunt Budge's version of the Cure for Boils[1]
Etymology[]
Pungous presumably derives from the Latin pungo, meaning to prick or to sting, or perhaps more directly from its English descendant pungent, meaning having a strong odour or taste, as in spicy or acidic food.
