As the name of the most brilliant planet from late 13c., from this sense in Latin (Old English called it morgensteorra and ?fensteorra). The venus fly-trap (Dion?a muscipula) was discovered 1760 by Gov. Arthur Dobbs in North Carolina and description sent to Collinson in England. The Central Atlantic Coast Algonquian name for the plant, /titipiwitshik/, yielded regional American English tippity wichity.
