Opopanax
Opopanax got all of our mind marbles rattling and resulted in some quirky meanings on the blog. The real meaning, however, is pretty ordinary. It's a gum resin used to make perfume, among other things. I much prefer the meanings provided on the blog. Voters chose Sophie 8's meaning as the favourite this time. Well done, Sophie.
