Likely from Taíno or Arawakan language roots, possibly referring to the Cumaná region. Found in early colonial botanical texts about New World plants.
Colonial botanists wrote down indigenous plant names phonetically, creating confusion—'cumanagoto' might be multiple Arawakan words compressed together, a linguistic fossil from the moment Europeans tried to catalog the unknown.
