橄欖

Etymology
Borrowed from a language in ancient times.

Compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬,, as well as 🇨🇬 (from earlier < *klam; Modern ).

Noun

 * 1) Chinese olive
 * 2) European olive

Usage notes
It is easy to confuse the European and Chinese olives, because they are often referred to by the same name. Fortunately, there is little overlap in use: the European olive is packaged for food in brine (it is inedible fresh), or as oil pressed from the fruit. The Chinese olive is dried or candied, or the nuts are eaten. The European olive is foreign and mentioned in the Bible, as well as in the context of the Middle East and Europe, while the Chinese olive is native and East Asian.
