"Olive" meaning in German

See Olive in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /oˈliːvə/ [Germany], /oˈliːfɛ/, [-ʋɛ] [Austria] Audio: De-Olive.ogg
Etymology: From Latin olīva. Partially inherited through Middle High German olīve (“olive tree”), but both the undiphthongized form and the fact that the use for the fruit dates only from the 16th century show that the word had not been fully integrated in Middle High German times.
