Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: pome n.1, water n., proper nameWater, Walter.
Etymology: < pome n.1 + either water n., or Water, variant of the male forename Walter (perhaps compare Middle English herbe-wauter , post-classical Latin herba Walteri , herba walterus denoting a medicinal plant (see Middle Eng. Dict., at that entry); compare also richardine n.).The spelling Water apparently represents the usual pronunciation of the forename Walter in Middle English (compare wat n.2).
Now historical.
A large, juicy, sharp-tasting variety of apple.In quot. 1607 figurative: cf. apple n. 6.
