Currently the name origin listed is that Eldegoss is Elder+Gossypium which is very possible, but I know that my first thought was Elder+Gossamer. The word "gossamer" refers to a substance that is very light and delicate, such as flower petals or a seeding dandelion. Perhaps the name is taking inspiration from both of these things?

Alternative Name Origin?

Currently the name origin listed is that Eldegoss is Elder+Gossypium which is very possible, but I know that my first thought was Elder+Gossamer. The word "gossamer" refers to a substance that is very light and delicate, such as flower petals or a seeding dandelion. Perhaps the name is taking inspiration from both of these things?
