Resembling or related to the Gnaphalium plant genus, which includes woolly plants like cudweed and everlasting flowers.
From Greek 'gnaphalon' (a plant name, possibly from 'gnaphos' meaning carded or combed wool) plus '-oid' (resembling), referring to the plant's woolly texture.
These plants got their names because their fuzzy, wool-like leaves and flowers look like they were carded or combed—which is pretty clever observation when you think about how botanical names often describe exactly what the plant looks like.
