(en-noun)Usage notes
Daikon'' is the most common name in all forms of English, but historical ties to South Asia permit (mooli) as a general synonym in British English. Other synonyms usually vary by region, so that ''daikon is sometimes taken to refer specifically to the usual Japanese form; similarly, the term (radish) may be used, with the regional variety implied by context. In addition, the plant is most often grown in North America for animal fodder or other uses rather than human consumption, producing a third set of synonyms that are almost never encountered in culinary contexts.Synonyms
