MAPLE
What maple means
A tree with distinctive lobed leaves that produces sweet sap used to make syrup and sugar, or the hard light-colored wood from this tree.
Where the word comes from
Maple comes from Old English mapel or mapulder, which likely developed from a Germanic root related to Old High German *ahorn. The word may be connected to Proto-Germanic *mokilaz, though the exact path is uncertain. The tree itself was known to Germanic peoples before English speakers encountered it broadly, so the term traveled into Old English from these early northern European languages.
