Meaning & History
The name of both a medicinal herb (probably Dalea lagopus, "hare’s-foot dalea") and a kind of passerine bird recognised for its song and plumage, both also called coltotl. The former may derive from coltic "crooked thing" and otl "fruit", the latter from tototl "bird" and an uncertain first element.
