horsetail


Explanation:
Jen návrh, snad legitimní:

našel jsem, že v němčině existuje obdobné slovo - Zinnkraut (vaše slovo mi zní velmi poněmčele). Znamená to "přeslička". Pokud se podívám na přesličku, tak pro svůj rozvětvený tvar by skutečně mohla sloužit tradičně k plašení či nahánění ryb. V angličtině pro ni pak existuje výraz "horsetail".
