/ˈpɛtɪɡreɪn/, U.S.

/ˈpɛdiˌɡreɪn/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French petit grain.

Etymology: < French petit grain (although this is apparently first attested later in this sense: 1866; 1693 or earlier in sense ‘small unripe oranges’; compare †huile de petit grain petitgrain oil (1723)), transferred use of petit grain small grain < petit petit adj. + grain grain n.¹, so called because the unripe fruits of the orange tree resemble small grains.

Any of various essential oils with a floral scent, distilled from the leaves and other parts of orange and other citrus trees, and used in perfumery. Also petitgrain oil.
