pissenlit

pissenlit [m] = dandelion in French

This words comes from “pisse en lit” (to urinate in a bed) and reflects diuretic properties of the dandelion. French speaking part of Switzerland uses a word “dent-de-lion” but it is obsolete everywhere else. English has a similar word for “dandelion” – “pissabed” (also “piss-the-bed”).
