      In German it’s “Unkraut” which could either be interpreted as “not herb”, “abnormal herb” or “evil herb”. Is the range similar in Spanish?

        Other than the “not” part, yeah. “Mala” is bad, wrong, evil, wicked, ill, naughty, etc.

        (Checked this to confirm before I posted, since it’s been several years since I’ve known Spanish well enough to speak it.)

      I learnt from Animal Crossing that it was “Malezas”

      https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maleza

      La maleza, mala hierba, hierba mala, yuyo, planta arvense, adventicia o planta adventicia, planta espontánea o planta indeseable

      “Mala hierba nunca muere” is also a fun saying

        Some countries in Latin America call it maleza and others do not

        Maleza is more like a thicket or lots of malas hierbas.

        https://dle.rae.es/maleza?m=form

        But now I see that in some countries is synonymous with mala hierba, I didn’t know that.
