Judas treen.

Brit.

/ˈdʒuːdəs triː/, U.S.

/ˈdʒudəs ˌtri/

Forms: see Judas n. and tree n.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Judas , tree n.

Etymology: < the name of Judas Iscariot (see Judas n.) + tree n., in both senses on account of a popular tradition that Judas hanged himself on a tree of this kind (which is attested for the European elder from at least the 14th cent., e.g. in Anglo-Norman and Middle English sources).With sense 1 compare post-classical Latin arbor Iudae (1576 or earlier), and perhaps also French arbre de Judée (1617 or earlier). Although it has sometimes been suggested that sense 1 arose from confusion with post-classical Latin arbor Iudaeae, lit. ‘tree of Judaea’, there is no evidence to support this suggestion, arbor Iudaeae apparently first being attested later (1692 or earlier) and only in the sense ‘palm tree’ (with reference to its usage as a symbol of Judaea, frequent e.g. on ancient Jewish coinage).

1. Any of several large shrubs or small trees of the genus Cercis (family Fabaceae ( Leguminosae)); esp. C. siliquastrum, native to southern Europe and parts of Asia, with abundant pink-purple flowers which appear in spring before the leaves. Cf. redbud n. 1.
