Etymology

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “My first thought was "tuba" but this word was already attested in Dictionarium Anamitico-Latinum (1838) so it can't be that. However, it's also glossed as tubae species alongside buccina so it must also refer to a plant, most likely one with horn-shaped flowers.”

Pronunciation
