Etymology
A helpful way to remember gosmore is to imagine it as goose + moor, a small plant you might find on fields or marshy moors where geese walk. Its little yellow flowers and leaves that look like 'cat's ears' make the name stick, which is why gosmore means a common meadow weed with yellow blooms.
