Forms: Old English bóece, béce, Middle English–1500s beche, Middle English bech, 1500s beetch, 1500s–1600s beeche, 1500s–1800s beech.

Etymology: Old English bóece , béce , cognate with Middle Low German bōke , bȫke , modern Low German baike , weak feminine ( < Germanic *bōkjōn- ), a derivative form < Germanic *bōkā- , strong feminine, whence also Old Norse bók , Old English bóc , Old High German buohha , Middle High German buoche , German buche , Middle Dutch boeke (Dutch beuk , Flemish boek ), ‘beech.’ Germanic *bokā- was cognate with Latin fāgus ‘beech,’ and Greek ϕᾱγός , ϕηγός ‘esculent oak’; meaning originally ‘tree with eatable fruit’, from root found in Greek ϕαγεῖν to eat. The more primitive English bóc is not found after the 12th cent. except in buck-mast n., buckwheat n., and their abbreviation buck n.²
