Etymology of Cassine:
The Latin word cassine was taken from the word cassina, which means ‘tea’ or ‘black drink’ (made from the leaves and stems of Ilex vomitoria, commonly called yaupon holly) in the Timucua language spoken in northern and central Florida, US. It appears to come from an earlier derivation, assi, also meaning ‘tea’ or ‘black drink’ in the Hitchiti language spoken by the eponymous tribe of Native Americans in Georgia, US. Timucua Native Americans used this brew for male-only purification and unity rituals.
Etymology of maurocenia:
For Giovanni Francesco Morosini (1658–1739), Italian Venetian senator, patrician and patron of science. He was elected a senator of the Great Council in 1690 and re-elected more than 30 times until 1738. He became ambassador to the papal state in Rome from 1702–1706 under Pope Clement XI (1649–1721) and from 1709–1711 became ambassador extraordinary to the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I (1678–1711). He was elected reformer at the University of Padua on six occasions between 1719–1737 and made significant reforms to the university, especially in regards to press law and the teachings of the University of Padua. He also developed a magnificent botanical garden in Padua, which became famed throughout Europe.
