In later use after scientific Latin Abelmoschus, genus name ( F. K. Medicus Ueber einige künstliche Geschlechter aus der Malven-Familie (1787) 45). Compare French abelmosch, abelmosque (1723 as abel-mosc).

Any of several plants of the tropical genus Abelmoschus, esp. A. moschatus, with aromatic seeds which yield a musky oil, formerly used medicinally and as a substitute for animal musk (cf. musk okra n. at musk n.
