Chaffweed

/ˈtʃæfwiːd/ noun

Any of various weeds or plants of little value or use, particularly those with chaffy seed heads.

Compound from 'chaff' (worthless) and 'weed' (unwanted plant). This folk-etymological term combines two words for things considered undesirable or worthless, creating a double emphasis on uselessness in agricultural contexts.
