An old name for a towhee, a small North American songbird with a distinctive two-part call.
From chew + ink or -ink (suffix), possibly from the bird's call sound, an onomatopoeic origin that mimics how the bird sounds.
Chewink is a brilliantly weird word created by early naturalists trying to spell out what birds sound like—'chew-ink' mimics the towhee's actual song, making it a perfect example of sound-based naming.
