What olive means
A small, oval-shaped fruit with a hard pit, typically green or dark purple when ripe, grown on Mediterranean trees and commonly used in cooking or eaten as a snack.
Where the word comes from
The word "olive" comes from Old French *olive*, which derives from Latin *oliva*. The Latin term was borrowed from Greek *elaia*, whose ultimate origin is uncertain but may relate to Semitic languages such as Hebrew *zayit*. The fruit and its tree were native to the Mediterranean region, and the word traveled westward through trade and cultural contact, reaching English through Norman French after 1066.
