cuckoo-spitn.²

Etymology: < cuckoo n. + spit n.², expectoration; the popular belief being that the matter was spit out by the cuckoo; compare German kuckukspeichel, Dutch koekoeksspog, etc.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈcuckoo-ˌspit.

1. A frothy secretion exuded by certain insects, in which their larvæ lie enveloped on the leaves, axils, etc. of plants; the insect chiefly producing it in Great Britain is the Frog-hopper, Aphrophora spumaris, or cuckoo-spit insect.
