Etymology edit
Borrowed from Aramaic כְּשׁוּתָא / ܟܫܽܘܬܳܐ (kəšūṯā), probably from כַּשָׁא / ܟܰܫܳܐ (kašā, “to pile up”) because of the jumbled fashion in which this parasitic plant climbs trees, else from Akkadian 𒃢 (SILA₄ /kasû/), a plant with many small seeds used for spice, fumigation and medicine, just like dodder species.
