Another name for the cocash plant or related itchy-seeded tropical plants in the legume family.
Compound of cocash + weed; follows the English naming pattern of combining the plant's distinctive feature (itchiness/cocash) with the generic term 'weed'.
In colonial-era botany, 'weed' didn't mean 'unwanted plant'—it just meant any wild or cultivated herbaceous plant, so cocashweed is simply 'the itchy-pod plant.'
