Woorara (another word for 'curare'/source of poison)
It's woo - court and
rara - skirt.

I would appreciate a reference to rara as "skirt".
Can't find it anywhere.

I should really have had 'ra-ra' = 'skirt.
It's in Chambers = a very short gathered or pleated skirt, originally as worn by cheerleaders.
