Etymology
[edit]Shift in meaning of ほととぎす (hototogisu, “lesser cuckoo”).
The spelling is a compound of 杜鵑 (hototogisu, “lesser cuckoo”) + 草 (sō, “herb”), as a means of clarifying that this term refers to the plant.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun

Usage notes
[edit]As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as ホトトギス (hototogisu).
