==Etymology==
Mugwort is often said to derive from the word "mug" because it was used in flavoring drinks. However, this may be a folk etymology. Other sources say Mugwort is derived from the old Norse ''muggi'', meaning "marsh", and Germanic "wuertz", meaning "root", which refers to its use since ancient times to repel insects, especially moths.<ref>Lust, J. (2005) ''The Herb Book'' 604.</ref>
Mugwort is called ''chornobylnik'' in [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]], and has given its name to the abandoned city of [[Chornobyl]] (Chernobyl in Russian). The name ''chornobyl'' has an interesting history, meaning "place where mugwort grows" in the related Indo-European languages.{{Fact|date=August 2008}}

Mugwort contains [[thujone]], which is toxic. Thujone is also present in Thuja Plicata, from which the name is derived. Pregnant women, in particular, should avoid consuming large amounts of mugwort. The species is little used now due to toxicity concerns, but has a number of recorded historic uses in food, [[herbal medicine]], and as a smoking herb. It is also used by many, as it is thought that placing the herb inside the cover of a pillow and sleeping on the pillow can induce vivid dreams. {{Fact|date=May 2008}}

===Food===
The leaves and buds, best picked shortly before the plant flowers in July to September, were used as a bitter flavoring agent to season fat, meat and fish. In [[Germany]], known as Beifuß, it is mainly used to season goose, especially the roast goose traditionally eaten for [[Christmas]]. From the German, ancient use of a sprig of mugwort inserted into the goose cavity, comes the saying "goosed" or "is goosed".{{Fact|date=June 2008}}
