英语词汇bodock的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bodock; Osage orange. Bodock is another name for the Osage orange tree (Maclura pomifera). It is so called because the Indians used its wood for making bows and the French thus called it the bois d’arc (“bowwood”) tree, which became corrupted in English to bodock. It is called the Osage orange because it grew in Osage Indian country and has large, rough- skinned greenish fruits somewhat suggestive of an orange, but inedible. The spiny-branched tree is often used for hedges and called the Osage thorn. It is first recorded, in 1804, by the Lewis and Clark expedition, as the Osage Apple.
