/ˈɡɒdbʊʃ/(also gad-bush) Chiefly Jamaican
noun
Originally: any of various tropical American mistletoes. In later use also: any of several other parasitic plants, including dodders (Cuscuta species) and the Eurasian mistletoe Viscum album.
Origin
Mid 19th century. From god + bush, so called on account of its (apparently miraculous) property of growing without being rooted in the ground.
