英语词汇joe-pye weed的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Joe-Pye weed. A weed, according to the old saying, is only an uncultivated flower. Sometimes even more. The Joe-Pye weed, for instance, may have been named for an Indian medicine man of that name because he “cured typhus fever with it, by co- pious perspiration.” This tall, common plant, with clusters of pinkish flowers, might well be the only weed ever dedicated to a real person. Records from 1787 reveal the existence of a Jose- phy Pye, or Shawquaathquat, who was possibly a descendant of the original Salem, Massachusetts healer, but the colonial Joe Pye has not yet been unequivocally identified.
