myagrum

noun mʌɪˈaɡrəm

From post-classical Latin myagrum, alteration of classical Latin myagros (Pliny), a plant with oil-bearing seeds, perhaps Camelina sativa from Hellenistic Greek μύαγρος (Dioscorides), lit. ‘mouse-catcher’ from ancient Greek μῦς mouse + ἄγρα hunting, way of catching, fact of catching.
