Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: maythe n., weed n.¹

Etymology: Probably < maythe n. (compare γ forms s.v.) + weed n.¹, probably influenced by may n.³ (compare maidenweed n. and maidweed n.) and also identified with May n.² (compare frequent capitalization).Compare also the English regional (northern) form maitheweed recorded in Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. denoting stinking camomile.

Originally (now chiefly U.S.): the stinking chamomile, Anthemis cotula (more fully stinking mayweed). In later use: any of various similar plants of the family Asteraceae ( Compositae), which occur as arable weeds; esp. Tripleurospermum inodorum (more fully scentless mayweed).
