apricotn.

/ˈeɪprɪkɒt/

Forms: α. 1500s abrecok, abrecox, aprecox, 1500s–1600s aprecok, abrecock(e, apricok(e, 1500s–1700s apricock, 1600s aprecock. β. 1500s–1700s abricot(e, 1500s abbrycot, 1600s abricoct, 1500s–1600s apricote, 1600s aprecott, 1500s– apricot.

Etymology: originally < Portuguese albricoque or Spanish albaricoque, but subsequently assimilated to the cognate French abricot (t mute). Compare also Italian albercocca, albicocca, Old Spanish albarcoque, < Spanish Arabic al-borcoq(ue (P. de Alcala) for Arabic al-burqūq, -barqūq, i.e. al the + barqūq, < Greek πραικόκιον (Dioscorides, c100; later Greek πρεκόκκια and βερικόκκια plural), probably < Latin praecoquum, variant of praecox, plural praecocia, ‘early-ripe, ripe in summer,’ an epithet and, in later writers, appellation of this fruit, originally called prūnum or mālum Armeniacum. Thus Pallad. (c350): ‘armenia vel præcoqua.’ The change in English < abr- to apr- was perhaps due to false etymology; Minsheu 1617 explained the name, quasi, ‘in aprīco coctus’ ripened in a sunny place: compare the spelling abricoct.

a. A stone-fruit allied to the plum, of an orange colour, roundish-oval shape, and delicious flavour.
