cushagn.

Brit. /ˈkʊʃəɡ/, U.S. /ˈkʊʃəɡ/, Manx English /ˈkʊʃəɡ/
Origin: A borrowing from Manx. Etymon: Manx cuishag.
Etymology: < Manx cuishag, cushag ragweed, stalk (1835 or earlier), cognate with or formed similarly to Irish cuiseog slender stem, stalk < cos leg, stem, shaft (Early Irish cos ; < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin coxa hip: see coxa n.) + -og, diminutive suffix. Compare Scottish Gaelic cuiseag stalk, stem of a plant, (also) various plants with a straight stem, including ragwort, and Irish cuise kind of grass or reed, meadow grass.Compare also ( < Irish cuiseog) the apparently rare Irish English (chiefly northern) cushog kind of grass, which is recorded in a wordlist in 1905 and also in some later 20th-cent. dictionaries.
Chiefly Manx English.
Common ragwort, Jacobaea vulgaris. Also: the flower of this plant.Frequently regarded as or said to be the (unofficial) national flower of the Isle of Man, sometimes in ironic allusion to supposedly poor or wasteful agricultural practices.
