algarroban.

Brit.

/alɡəˈrəʊbə/, U.S.

/ˌælɡəˈroʊbə/

Forms:

α. 1700s alcaróbe.

β. 1700s– algarroba, 1800s– algaroba, 1800s– algoroba, 1800s– algorobo, 1800s– algorroba, 1800s– algorrobo.

γ. 1800s algarobia, 1800s– algarobbia.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish algarroba.

Etymology: < Spanish algarroba carob bean (c1541; 1250 as †algarrova ; with the sense ‘carob tree’, compare the note below), fruit of mesquite and related American plants (mid 16th cent.) < Arabic al-ḵarrūba < al the + ḵarrūba carob n. Compare French algarrova (1716 in the passage translated in quot. 1717, or earlier).In α. forms probably influenced by carobe, variant of carob n., or its etymon French †carobe. In γ. forms after scientific Latin Algarobia (also occasionally Algarobbia), former genus name of mesquite (now superseded by Prosopis). Spanish makes a consistent distinction between algarroba , denoting only the fruit, and the corresponding masculine noun algarrobo (1513), denoting only the tree. Compare the parallel distinction between Spanish garroba and garrobo (for both see carob n.). In English, the distinction between the different words in the donor language was lost.

1. The carob tree, Ceratonia siliqua, native chiefly to the Mediterranean area and North Africa; (also) the multi-seeded pod of this tree, used (esp. formerly) as animal fodder.

1834 S. E. Cook Sketches in Spain II. 220 The ceratonia siliquastrum (algarroba)..is a delicate tree, nearly all those in Catalonia being killed to the ground in the winter of 1829–30.

1866 J. Lindley & T. Moore Treasury Bot. 88/1 Algaroba bean, the fruit of Ceratonia Siliqua.

1920 Ann. Rep. Director Forestry Philippine Islands 1919 33 In the nurseries, narra and algarroba (Ceratonia siliqua) have been planted for distribution.

2007 Birmingham Evening Mail (Nexis) 14 Mar. 32 The six-bedroom, five-bathroom modern villa is superbly located amidst a mature almond and algarroba grove.

2. Any of several resinous shrubs and trees of the leguminous genus Prosopis (subfamily Mimosoideae), native to Central and South America; esp. P. juliflora (formerly P. dulcis); cf. mesquite n. 1a. Occasionally also applied to other neotropical leguminous trees having similar pods or other characteristics.
