Definitions

  1. any cedar of the genus Cedrus

Word origin

From Middle English cedre, probably from Old French cedre, from Latin cedrus, from Ancient Greek κέδρος (kédros). Some suggest that the Middle English word was partially from Old English ċeder, but the gap in attestation between the two words makes this proposal unlikely. Possible doublet of citrus.

Used in a sentence

  • There had been dry seasons, accumulations of dust, wind-blown seeds, and cedars rose wonderfully out of solid rock.
