What was the word for "apple" in old English?

Question

Before the word "fruit" was introduced (together with many French words after 1066), "apple" meant any kind of fruit. With two similar words coexisting, the meaning of "apple" shifted to its actual definition. Do you know what was the old word for an apple?

Answer 1

æppel. While "æppel" could indeed mean "fruit" in a general sense, its primary sense was "apple". Compare modern English "deer". Its primary sense in North America is one of the two species of Odocoileus, but it can also be used in a more general sense, so that moose, elk, caribou, reindeer, etc. are also all "deer". So in Old English, æppel meant "apple", but it could also be used in a more general sense for other types of fruit, although other types of fruit were rare in England at the time.

Answer 2

" insegrievious " that's an adjective coined by Gary Owens, a l. a. radio and tv character whom you will have seen on the main up-tp-date Emmy Awards application. He became the announcer from chortle-In with the great deep voice. The "coolest" element approximately this be conscious is that it could mean despite you like it to intend and that's cool sounding too !
