Compare Middle French genipat , denoting both the tree and the fruit (see genipat n.). Compare also post-classical Latin Ianipaba (1648 in Piso & Marcgrave). Compare earlier genipat n.In α. forms probably reflecting a Latin genitive singular; the source of quot. 1613 makes explicit reference to a Latin text of 1605 which uses succus pomi genipapi, lit. either ‘the juice of the fruit of the genipap’ or ‘the juice of the fruit [called] genipap’.
