pyrusn.

Brit.

/ˈpʌɪrəs/,

/ˈpɪrəs/, U.S.

/ˈpaɪrəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pyrus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin pyrus (c400; variant of classical Latin pirus pear tree, related to pirum pear: see pear n. and etymological note at that entry), later adopted in scientific Latin as genus name Pyrus (compare note at definition).

Originally: a pear tree. Later: (in form Pyrus) a genus of small fruit trees and shrubs of the family Rosaceae, now restricted to those with grit or stone cells in the fruit, including the common pear, Pyrus communis, and related ornamental kinds; also (in form pyrus) a tree or shrub of this genus or formerly included in it.The genus formerly also included many trees and shrubs now placed in other genera, as apples (genus Malus), rowans, whitebeams, and service trees (genus Sorbus), and quinces (genus Cydonia).Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 479, after earlier use by R. Dodoens Stirpium Historiæ (1583) 787.
