Etymology
Goatweed is a simple combination of goat and weed, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of plants goats eat or plants that grow like a 'weed' in fields. So, goatweed is a common name for several wild plants that are often treated as weeds, and some have been used in traditional medicine.
