orchardn. Origin: Probably a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin hortus , yard n.1 Etymology: Probably < classical Latin hortus garden (see horticulture n.) + yard n.1; Gothic aurti-gards garden apparently represents a parallel formation, although it is possible that both may reflect a Germanic compound; with the first element, compare also Gothic aurtja gardener, and Old High German orzōn to cultivate.The first element has alternatively frequently been explained as showing a variant of the Germanic base of wort n.1, and the compound would thus be cognate with or formed similarly to wortyard n. at wort n.1 Compounds 2, Middle Low German wortegarde , Middle High German wurzgarte , wurzegarte , Old Icelandic jurta-garðr , Old Swedish yrtagarþer (Swedish örtagård ), Old Danish urtegard (early modern Danish urtegard ); however, this would pose formal difficulties. Forms with initial element hort- (see δ. forms below), common in the 16th and 17th centuries, represent an etymological respelling after classical Latin hortus (see above).
