acajoun.

Brit.

/ˈakəʒuː/, U.S.

/ˈækəʒu/

Forms: 1500s acaion (transmission error), 1600s acaiou, 1600s acajov, 1600s acaju, 1600s 1900s– acaiu, 1600s–1700s acajow, 1600s– acajou.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French acaïou, acajou.

Etymology: In sense 1 < Middle French acaïou, acajou (1557 in the passage translated in quot. 1568; French acajou < Tupi acayu < a fruit + cayu , the name of the tree ( > Portuguese caju cashew n.)). In sense 2 < French acajou (1658 in the passage translated in quot. 1666) < Portuguese acaju (c1584), apparently either shortened < or influenced by Portuguese acajucatinga mahogany tree (1587 as acajacatinga) < Tupi acaiacatinga ( < acaiaca cedar + tinga white, thus not related to the word for the cashew cited above). Compare French †acajoucantin, †acaϊoucantin cashew tree, mahogany tree (both 1645).The similar appearance of the leaves and fruit of the two plants probably aided the merger of the two similar-sounding names in European languages. N.E.D. (1884) gives only the non-naturalized pronunciation (a·kaʒu) /ˈakaʒu/.

1. Any of several closely related trees of the genus Anacardium; esp. the cashew, A. occidentale. Also: the swollen edible ‘fruit’ (actually a pseudocarp) of the cashew tree, from which the cashew nut hangs (more fully acajou apple); the cashew nut itself.white acajou: see the first element.
