Definition hackmatack
Etymology
Believed to derive from Abenaki, though no specific etymon has been found. The term is first attested in the 1760s–90s, when it was spelled hakmantak and referred to dense forest.
In the 19th century, some authorities questioned if tacamahac, tamarack, and hackmatack could be cognate to one another, perhaps all corruptions of one term, but such cognacy is unlikely.
Compare the late 19th century German Low German term Hackemtackem (“tacamahac (medicinal resin)”).
Noun

- A larch, a tree of the species Larix laricina.
