Codiniac

/koʊˈdɪniæk/ noun

Definition

A type of pear or apple cultivar, named historically for its compact growth or origin, though rarely used in modern agriculture.

Etymology

Possibly from older European fruit-naming traditions, with uncertain etymology; may relate to place names or local cultivar descriptions.

Kelly Says

Heirloom fruit varieties like codiniac are disappearing—supermarkets prefer uniform commercial varieties, so regional varieties with character and local history are vanishing from farming.
