Brit.

/kəˈnɛːrɪ wʊd/, U.S.

/kəˈnɛri ˌwʊd/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: canary adj., wood n.¹

Etymology: < canary adj. + wood n.¹, originally after French canari (1813 in this sense, in the passage translated in quot. 1822; 1583 in Middle French in sense ‘canary bird’: see canary bird n.), probably so called with reference to the colour of the wood.

The yellow or orange-coloured wood of any of various trees, esp. Liriodendron tulipifera (family Magnoliaceae) and Morinda citrifolia (family Rubiaceae), primarily used in carpentry and cabinetmaking; a tree producing such wood. Liriodendron tulipifera is also called tulip poplar, tulip-tree, yellow poplar. Morinda citrifolia is also called Indian mulberry, noni.
