Definitions

  1. sweet green or greenish-yellow variety of plum

Word origin

By surface analysis, green + gage. See alternative etymology below, as this is incorrect: the etymology for gage is a back-formation from greengage.

Used in a sentence

  • The apricot rarely produces any fruit, except in a few places, and then very scantily. The greengage plum is nearly equally unproductive.
  • Just where the horse trams trundled across the market was a row of fruit stalls, with fruit blazing in the sun—apples and piles of reddish oranges, small greengage plums and bananas.
