Coonjine

/ˈkuːndʒaɪn/ noun

Definition

A plant with properties used in folk medicine, also called coontie or coonroot.

Etymology

Of uncertain origin, possibly derived from Native American languages or folk medicine traditions. Related to coonroot and coontie, other names for similar medicinal plants in American folk vocabulary.

Kelly Says

Folk medicine created a rich vocabulary of plant names—'coonjine' is one of several regional names for medicinal plants used by frontier settlers, showing how communities developed their own pharmacopeias from local plants.
