Muti meaning:
In South African English, the word “muti” is derived from the Zulu/Xhosa word umuthi, meaning “tree,” whose root is -thi.
In Southern Africa, “muti” and cognates of umuthi are in widespread use in most indigenous African languages as well as in South African English and Afrikaans, which sometimes use “muti” as a slang word for medicine in general, or even as a term for ‘good luck’.
