prettygoodwordailanthus - n., any of several Asian trees of the quassia family including especially tree-of-heaven.
From some Moluccan language, though every dictionary seems to suggest a different one, ai lanito, tree of the sky or tree of the gods. The th may have come in because of the closeness to Greek anthos, flower.
