In Germany in some regions the Euonymus europaeus is called "Pfaffenhütchen".
"Pfaffe" (from lat.: papa = father) means a catholic priest [however, since the reformation the word "Pfaffe" has a disparaging connotation],
"hütchen" means little hat.
The blossom of this bush reminds someone of the biretta.
