APRICOT
A"pri*cot, n. Etym: [OE. apricock, abricot, F. abricot, fr. Sp.
albaricoque or Pg. albricoque, fr. Ar. albirq, al-burq. Though the E.
and F. form abricot is derived from the Arabic through the Spanish,
yet the Arabic word itself was formed from the Gr. praecoquus,
praecox, early ripe. The older E. form apricock was prob. taken
direct from Pg. See Precocious, Cook.] (Bot.)
Definition: A fruit allied to the plum, of an orange color, oval shape, and
delicious taste; also, the tree (Prunus Armeniaca of Linnæus) which
bears this fruit. By cultivation it has been introduced throughout
the temperate zone.
