'Nutmeg' refers to the spice-like flavor of the nut kernel. 'Hickory,' as mentioned before, comes from the Algonquian 'pockerchicory'. This described a nut milk beverage. 'Myristiciformis' is derived from Latin, meaning 'resembling Myristica'. Myristica is the genus of the nutmeg tree. The name combines descriptive and botanical elements.
