Word: hackmatack Part of Speech: noun 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.

This makes the precise Algonquian words involved difficult to recover. Compare the late 19th century German Low German term Hackemtackem (“tacamahac (medicinal resin)”). 1. A larch, a tree of the species Larix laricina. Example: The hackmatack is remarkable for having a principal root, which sometimes equals in size the trunk to which it belongs. 2.
