quickbeamn.

Brit.

/ˈkwɪkbiːm/, U.S.

/ˈkwɪkˌbim/

Forms: early Old English cuiicbean (transmission error), early Old English quicbeam, Old English cuicbeam, Old English cwicbeam, Old English cwicbean (transmission error), late Old English cvicbeam, 1500s quickbeame, 1500s quickbeme, 1500s quickebeame, 1500s quikbem, 1500s quikbeme, 1500s quykbeme, 1600s– quickbeam.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Saxon quikbōm , quekbōm (glossing Latin caricus (apparently) fig tree); apparently < the Germanic base of quick adj. + the Germanic base of beam n.¹, so called on account of its vitality (compare quitch n.¹). Compare Middle Low German quitsenbōm rowan (German regional (Low German) Quitschenboom , Quetsch'nboum ), German Quickenbaum , Quitzbaum , Quitzenbaum , Quitschenbaum rowan (a1717 or earlier; apparently < Low German; now regional (northern and eastern)). Compare quick tree n., quicken n.¹In German a simplex Quitsche, Quitze (18th cent.; regional (Low German) Quitsch, Quitsche, (Westphalia) kwiəke) also occurs, denoting both the tree and its fruit. In German folk traditions belief in the vitality of the tree is apparently reflected in its use e.g. in rituals for the blessing of cattle, although it is very uncertain whether this has any direct connection with the origin of the name. With the sense ‘juniper’ compare Middle High German queckolter (German †Queckholder). Apparently not attested in Middle English, but compare the place name Quykbeme (1474; now Quickbeam Hill, Devon).

Any of several trees of the genus Sorbus, esp. the European rowan ( S. acuparia), the wild service tree ( S. torminalis), and the North American mountain ash ( S. americana). Formerly also: †juniper, tamarisk (obsolete). Cf. quicken n.¹In Old English also used to gloss Latin cariscus (cf. quots. eOE¹, lOE), an obscure word of uncertain meaning, perhaps an error for caricus (apparently) fig tree (attested as the lemma of Old Saxon quikbōm in continental glossaries; cf. classical Latin Cārica (Carian) fig), or for tamariscus (cf. quot. 1587 at Compounds).
