Definitions and meaning of yucca

yucca

Etymology

Variant of yuca, sometimes said to be from Kari'na yuca (cassava (Manihot esculenta)), but this latter appears to be a ghost word. The word was applied to plants of the genus Yucca (now the main sense), because Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) and others confused them with the cassava.
