Definition
A plant species believed to harbor chiggers or used traditionally to treat chigger bites.
Etymology
Compound of 'chigger' (West African origin) and 'weed' (from Old English 'weod'), combining the parasite name with a plant term, likely folk-etymologized from observations of chiggers in grassy areas.
Kelly Says
Folk medicine traditions across the American South developed elaborate treatments using plants people found near chigger-infested areas, creating plant names like chiggerweed even if the actual connection between the plant and the parasite was more accidental than scientific.
