noun

Etymology: 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.

  1. A coniferous tree of the genus Cedrus in the family Pinaceae.
  2. A coniferous tree of the family Cupressaceae, especially of the genera Juniperus, Cupressus, Calocedrus, or Thuja.

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

  3. A flowering tree of the family Meliaceae, especially of the genera Cedrela or Toona.
  4. The aromatic wood from a tree of genus Cedrus or from any of several not closely related trees.
