Definitions

  1. A large broadleaf tree, or a fig-like tree mentioned in the Bible.

Word origin

Circa 1350 as Middle English sicamour, from Old French sicamor, from Latin sȳcomorus, from Ancient Greek σῡκόμορος (sūkómoros, literally “fig-mulberry”), from σῦκον (sûkon, “fig”) + μόρον (móron, “mulberry”). Possibly influenced by Hebrew שִׁקְמָה (shikmá, “fig-mulberry”).

Used in a sentence

  • Stars shining bright above you / Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you / Birds singin' in the sycamore trees
  • On his dark face were white sycamore patches.
  • The thronged boughs of the shadowy sycamore / Still bear young leaflets half the summer through
