Meaning & usage
quince (Cydonia oblonga, plant or fruit)
Where this word comes from
From Middle Dutch quede, from Old Dutch [Term?], from Proto-West Germanic [Term?], from Latin *quidōnea (see cotōneum, cydōnium), from Ancient Greek κυδώνιον (kudṓnion). The n seen in Latin and Greek was lost at some point after the Germanic borrowing from Latin, likely due to its re-interpretation as a plural ending (an instance of back-formation); compare Luxembourgish Quitt.
