cryptomerian.

Brit.

/ˌkrɪptə(ʊ)ˈmɪərɪə/, U.S.

/ˌkrɪptəˈmɪriə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Cryptomeria.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Cryptomeria, genus name (D. Don: see quot. 1838¹) < crypto- crypto- comb. form + ancient Greek μέρος part (see mero- comb. form¹) + -ia -ia suffix¹; so called because the seeds are hidden or enclosed by scales.

The Japanese cedar or sugi, a tall evergreen coniferous tree, Cryptomeria japonica (family Cupressaceae), originating in Japan but now extensively cultivated elsewhere for its timber and as an ornamental; (also) the lightweight scented wood of this tree. Also (in form Cryptomeria): the monotypic genus that comprises this tree.
