Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with German regional (Low German) muggart , müggerk , muggert , mugwurz , probably < the Germanic base of midge n. + the Germanic base of wort n.1, with i-mutation in the first element prevented by early loss of Germanic medial -i- in the compound. Compare mugweed n.The plant is said to attract flies and midges, and has therefore been used as a means of disposing of them (compare the North German custom of hanging up bundles of mugwort in rooms to attract flies, which are then easily caught by pulling a sack over the bundle). The form mycgwyrt with mutated form of the first element occurs once in early Old English (in Bald's Leechbk.). The Middle English form maghewrt is probably by confusion with maythe n. In the Scots form moogars and the Irish form muggers in plural form with singular agreement.
1. A tall perennial plant, Artemisia vulgaris (family Asteraceae ( Compositae)), which has small flower heads in long leafy panicles and aromatic pinnatifid leaves, and is found widely on waste ground, roadside verges, etc., throughout temperate areas of the northern hemisphere. Also (usually with distinguishing word): any of several other plants of the genus Artemisia. Cf. mugweed n. 1.An important magical and medicinal plant in early times. It is the first herb to be named in the Old English Nine Herbs Charm (see quot. OE1) where its powers are highly praised. In medieval times it was often made into garlands and hung in houses to ward off evil spirits. Among its chief medicinal uses was the treatment of menstrual disorders (hence its alternative post-classical Latin name mater herbarum); an infusion of the herb was also widely used as a tonic.
