Word Origin & History
mimosa
genus of leguminous shrubs, 1731, coined in Mod.L. (1619) from L. mimus "mime" + -osa, adj. 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 is so called from its yellowish color,
EXPANDwhich resembles that of the mimosa.
