Definition
A tropical South American tree that produces a hard, durable wood used for construction and furniture.
Etymology
From Portuguese 'angico,' derived from Tupi indigenous language of Brazil. The word entered European languages through contact with indigenous peoples of South America who named the tree.
Kelly Says
This tree was so valued by colonial shipbuilders that it became a currency of sorts—explorers and traders would specifically seek it out because its wood resists rot better than oak, making it ideal for ships that spent months at sea.
