mimosa

• n. 含羞草
• n. (Mimosa)人名；(葡)米莫萨

来自拉丁语mimus,模仿，osa-,拉丁语形容词后缀。因这种草如同羞涩的美女，如果被人的手触摸到叶子会自动卷起而得名。

mimosa (n.)

genus of leguminous shrubs, 1731, coined in Modern Latin (1619) from Latin mimus "mime" (see mime (n.)) + -osa, adjectival suffix (fem. of -osus). So called because some species (including the common Sensitive Plant) fold leaves when touched, seeming to mimic animal behavior. The alcoholic drink (by 1977) is so called from its yellowish color, which resembles that of the mimosa flower.
