词汇 kinnikinnik
词源
kinnikinnik. Deriving from a similar but unrecorded word “in the Cree or Chippewa dialects of Algonquian” that means literally “what is mixed,” kinnikinnik was first a nontobacco mix of dried sumac leaves, ground dogwood bark, and other ingre- dients that the Indians and early American settlers used. Later tobacco was often added to the mixture. Kinnikinnik is also the longest palindromic word in English and can have 12 letters when spelled kinnik-kinnik, as it sometimes is.
