corneln.3

/ˈkɔːnəl/
Forms: Also 1500s–1600s cornell, corneill, corneil(e, 1600s cornill, cornoil(e, cornowlee.
Etymology: Apparently first in 16th cent. herbalists, in the compounds cornel tree, cornel berry, translating German cornel-, cornell-baum (16th cent. in Grimm), kornel-beere, apparently < Old High German cornulbaum, -beri, churnelbere, quirnilberi. According to Hildebrand, Kluge, etc., Old High German cornul, curnol was < medieval Latin cornolium (or ? cornolius) cornel-tree (in Du Cange). This medieval Latin seems to be formed on French cornouille (in 16th cent. cornoille, cornoaille) ‘cornel-cherry’, which Diez refers to a popular Latin *cornuculum (in plural *cornucula), diminutive of Latin cornum ‘cornel-cherry’, the fruit of the cornus or cornel-tree. The German kornelbaum is also the source of Danish korneltræ , Swedish kornelträd . Modern German has kornelle for the fruit. From French cornouille is derived Dutch kornoelje , whence Brereton's cornowlee (quot. a1661 at sense 1a). Variously formed derivatives of Latin cornus , cornum , and the adjective corneus , appear in corn-tree n., Old English corntreow, and Italian cornio, corniolo the tree, cornia, corniola the fruit (compare Picard dialect corgnolle, corniolle), obsolete French cornille the berry (Cotgrave), Spanish cornejo ( < corniculus), French cornier, cornouillier, cornel-tree.
1.
a. English name of the botanical genus Cornus, of which the ancient writers and early herbalists distinguished two ‘sorts’, Cornus mas ‘male cornel’, and C. femina ‘female cornel’. The former was the cornel-tree (see Compounds) or cornelian cherry-tree, the tame cornel of Lyte ( C. mascula), a large shrub or low tree bearing edible fruit, a native of Southern Europe, sometimes cultivated in Britain; the latter was the cornel-bush, wild or common cornel, or dogwood ( C. sanguinea), a common hedge-row shrub in the south of England, of which the berries are not edible. dwarf cornel is a modern book-name of C. suecica, and in North America of C. canadensis. With other qualifying words the name is sometimes given to other species of Cornus, of which more than twenty are known.
