she-oakn.

Brit.

/ˈʃiːəʊk/, U.S.

/ˈʃiˌoʊk/, Australian English

/ˈʃiːoʊk/

Forms:

α. 1700s– she oak, 1800s– sheoak, 1800s– she-oak.

β. 1800s– shea-oak.

γ. 1800s sheac, 1800s sheack, 1800s shiac, 1800s shiack, 1800s– sheak, 1900s– sheoke.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: she adj., oak n.

Etymology: < she adj. (compare she pron.¹, n., and adj. Compounds 1c) + oak n. Compare he-oak n. at he pron., n.¹, and adj. Compounds 2.The suggestion that the word ultimately comes from an Australian Aboriginal or Tasmanian name cannot be substantiated and is unlikely on phonological grounds. In β. forms perhaps by association with shea n. The γ. forms apparently reflect reduced pronunciations, probably partly reinforced by the belief that the name is not an English formation. The semantic motivation for sense 2 is unclear, but in the late 19th cent. it was apparently sometimes associated with a place name She Oak Hill, the supposed site of the first brewery.

Australian.

1. Any of various evergreen trees and shrubs of the family Casuarinaceae, of Australasia and tropical Asia, which have photosynthetic twigs and much-reduced leaves. Also: the wood of any of these trees.Cf. he-oak n. at he pron., n.¹, and adj. Compounds 2.
