apple treen.

Brit.

/ˈapl triː/, U.S.

/ˈæp(ə)l ˌtri/

Forms: see apple n. and tree n.; also Old English aeppeltreou (in a late copy), Old English apeltren (in a late copy), Old English apoltre (Northumbrian), Old English appelstreou (in a late copy), late Middle English nappyltre.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: apple n., tree n.

Etymology: < apple n. + tree n. Compare Old English apuldor , apuldre , in the same sense, cognate with Old Saxon apuldra (Middle Low German āpeldēr , āpeldērn ), Old High German affoltra , affaltar (Middle High German affalter , affolter , German Affolter ), Old Icelandic apaldr , Old Swedish apald , apuld (Swedish apel ), Danish abild < the Germanic base of apple n. + the Germanic base of Old English -dor , -dre , suffix forming names of trees (see maple tree n.). The evidence of Anglo-Saxon charter bounds suggests that Old English æppeltrēow was originally a northern equivalent to apuldor; see further P. Kitson ‘The Nature of Old English Dialect Distributions’ in J. Fisiak Medieval Dialectol. (1995) 80.The Old English (Northumbrian) form apoltre is probably influenced by forms of apuldor , apuldre (also apoldre , apeldre ). Also attested early in place names, as Apletreu (1086; now Appletree, Derbyshire), Apletreuuic (1086; now Appletreewick, West Riding, Yorkshire), etc. The form nappyltre shows metanalysis (see N n.)

1. A tree which bears apples; esp. any one of the many varieties cultivated for their fruit; = apple n. 4a.
