I enjoyed that too. Here's this bit from m-w.com:
Main Entry: ar·bo·re·tum

Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -retums or ar·bo·re·ta /-'rE-t&/

Date: 1838
: a place where trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants are cultivated for
scientific and educational purposes
I think he's referring to the source *tree*.
