moxan.

Brit.

/ˈmɒksə/, U.S.

/ˈmɑksə/

Inflections: Plural unchanged, moxas.

Forms: 1600s– moxa, 1800s mochsa, 1800s– mogusa.

Origin: A borrowing from Japanese. Etymon: Japanese mokusa.

Etymology: < Japanese mokusa, mogusa mugwort, moxa (13th cent.; 1603 in Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam, glossed ‘herb with which buttons of fire are given’), contracted < moye-kusa, moekusa, lit. ‘burning-herb’ (13th cent.; now in sense ‘vegetation used as fuel’) < moye-, combining stem of moyeru (now moeru) to burn + kusa grass, plant, herb. Compare French moxa (1694).Japanese mokusa, with devoiced u, was perceived phonetically by English speakers as /ˈmɒksa/, giving rise to the spelling moxa. The word is first recorded in print in Europe in 1675, in Het Podagra by Hermann Busschof, a Dutch Reformed minister practising in Batavia. This was translated into English as A Treatise of the Gout (London, 1676).

1. A soft wool prepared with down from the young leaves of any of various Asiatic plants, esp. Artemisia indica and Crossostephium artemisioides, used in the form of a cone or cylinder for burning on or next to the skin at one of the vital points of the body as a counterirritant, cauterizing agent, etc.; a cone or cylinder of this. Also: = moxibustion n. Now chiefly Alternative Medicine (originally and chiefly in traditional Chinese medicine).
