mangroven.¹

Brit.

/ˈmaŋɡrəʊv/, U.S.

/ˈmæŋɡroʊv/

Forms: 1600s mangrave, 1600s mangroue, 1600s mangrowe, 1600s– mangrove.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Spanish. Etymons: Spanish mangue, mangle.

Etymology: Apparently < Spanish mangue (1519, with reference to Brazil), mangle (1526), probably < a Cariban or Arawak language. Compare mangle n.²; compare also Portuguese mangue (1552: perhaps > the obsolete Malay manggi-manggi mangrove). The form mangrowe survives in Jamaican dialect mangrow /ˈmaŋɡro/ (see F. G. Cassidy & R. B. Le Page Dict. Jamaican Eng., s.v.): with this, compare man-grown , used of trees deformed by flattening (see Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. man n.¹); note also the wordplay in quot. 1613 at sense 1. The form in -grove is probably after grove n.; the early form in -grave is unexplained.

1. In generic use: any of various trees and shrubs, chiefly species of the genera Rhizophora and Bruguiera (family Rhizophoraceae), Avicennia (family Avicenniaceae), Laguncularia (family Combretaceae), and Sonneratia (family Lythraceae), which form dense thickets in muddy coastal swamps, tidal estuaries, etc., in tropical and subtropical regions, and which are marked by their ability to tolerate salt water and by their possession of different forms of aerial root (e.g. interlacing prop-roots in Rhizophora, projecting pneumatophores in Avicennia). In spec. use: any plant of this kind belonging to the genus Rhizophora or the family Rhizophoraceae, esp. Rhizophora mangle.‘Ligon's description of the “mangrave” confuses it (as Sloane pointed out) with the Mahoe (see Mahoe¹ 1). Hence some later writers have applied the name mangrove-tree to the Mahoe.’ (N.E.D.)
