Wood from a citron tree or a wood resembling citronwood, sometimes valued for furniture or decorative purposes.
Compound of 'citron' and 'wood'—formed descriptively to identify wood from citrus trees, similar to how we name 'cedarwood' or 'sandalwood' based on their source trees.
Citronwood is incredibly fragrant and was treasured by wealthy Europeans for making small boxes and furniture—the combination of attractive grain and natural perfume made it more valuable than its humble source suggests!
