† 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.
