simarouban.

Brit.

/sɪməˈruːbə/, U.S.

/sɪməˈrubə/

Forms: 1700s– simarouba, 1700s– simaruba, 1800s– simarupa.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French simarouba.

Etymology: < French simarouba (1728), apparently < either Arawak shimarupa or its probable etymon Carib simarupa. (The Arawak word was probably borrowed from Carib, in which it is slightly more widespread, although it is also possible that the loan went in the other direction.) Compare ( < French) post-classical Latin simarouba, denoting the bark, as used medicinally (1746 or earlier), scientific Latin Simarouba, genus name of the tree ( F. Aublet Hist. des plantes de la Guiane Françoise II. (1775) 859; also sometimes written Simaruba).

1. The bark of the root of a tropical American tree of the genus Simarouba (more fully simarouba bark); a bitter tonic made from this, used esp. as a treatment for dysentery and diarrhoea. Now rare and chiefly historical.The main biologically active compounds found in this bark are quassinoids.
