Etimología (Inglés)

From Medieval Latin cuscūte, cuscūthe, cuscūta, cuscūtha, from Arabic كُشُوث (kušūṯ), 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 Cuscuta species.
