Curry is an English word most probably derived from the South Indian word Kaikaari. Kaikaari, or its shortened version Kaari, meant vegetables cooked with spices and a dash of coconut. It may have become the symbolic British word for Indian dishes that could be eaten with rice.
In India curry means gravy.
In America many believe curry is an Indian spice. Curry powder is sold in many supermarkets. Many dishes in America call for curry powder, which is actually a blend of spices (mainly garam masala) that is mixed with coriander powder and turmeric. In India, Indians would be confused if you mentioned curry powder.
There is a plant, however, that has leaves that are called curry leaves or in Hindi meetha neem or Kadhi leaves. They look like miniature lemon leaves and grow wild in most forest regions of India and are used as a seasoning.

What are you talking about, if you're talking about curry the food, then i think you have a lot to learn.
Curry is a hot, spicy dish of meat or fish, of Indian origin. It has Curry powder and in case you don't know what that is its a mixture of spices dried and ground into a powder. Up to 50 different spices may be used.
You should try it, its delicious, i just had some!
Does that answer your question.

A curry is any of a variety of distinctively spiced dishes, best-known in Indian, Thai and other South Asian cuisines, but curry has been adopted into all of the mainstream cuisines of the Asia-Pacific area. Along with tea, curry is one of the few dishes or drinks that is truly "pan-Asian", but specifically, its roots come from India. Curry was later brought to the West by British colonialists in India from the 18th century.

Curry is a powder that is used in different Indian foods to make it a little spicy and taste better. The word curry comes from the Tamil word Kari. The word rice also comes from the Tamil word arisi and I think that is where the Spanish word for rice also originates with Tamil; the Spanish word for rice is arroz.

Easier to look it up in the dictionary. But if you want a comment it's a great Indian sauce you can try with chicken or rice with butter and red pepper.
