† mocoan.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Mocha.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. The description in quot. 1762 perhaps suggests association with Malacca n., although the form is remote and the relevant senses of Malacca n. are attested only considerably later. Perhaps ultimately < the name of Mocha (see Mocha n.¹). Compare use of anamaboo apparently for bamboo n. in quot. 1762

Obsolete.

A kind of walking stick or cane.

1762 S. Foote Orators i. 11 To drop a hint that I may occasionally use him as a walking-stick; a kind of an elegantly clouded Mocoa, or an airy Anamaboo: yet, that it is by no means my intention to depend upon him as a crutch.
