quamoclitn.

Brit.

/ˈkwaməklɪt/, U.S.

/ˈkwɑməˌklɪt/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin quamoclit.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin quamoclit (1588 (in the source referred to in quot. 1633) or earlier; also 1611 or earlier as quamochlit) < Nahuatl quaˈmochitl (ch = /tʃ/) ( R. Siméon Dictionnaire de la langue Nahuatl (1885); not recorded in modern dictionaries of Nahuatl), apparently < qua- (in quauitl (now cuahuitl) tree) + -mochitl, of unknown meaning (not otherwise recorded in dictionaries of Nahuatl). Adopted into scientific Latin as a specific epithet ( Linnaeus Species plantarum (1753) I. 159) and later used as a genus name ( C. Moench Methodus Plantas Horti Botanici et Agri Marburgensis (1794) 453).

Originally: the tropical American climbing plant Ipomoea quamoclit (family Convolvulaceae), with brilliant red flowers and deeply lobed leaves. Later also: (frequently with distinguishing word) any of various plants constituting the former genus Quamoclit; (also in form Quamoclit) the former genus itself. Quamoclit is now usually incorporated into the genus Ipomoea; it is still sometimes used as the name of a subgenus or section.
