Definition
The plural of cypress, meaning multiple tall, narrow evergreen trees with dark green foliage that are commonly grown for shade and ornamental purposes.
Etymology
From Old French cipres, ultimately from Latin cupressus via Greek kuparisos. The -es ending is the standard English plural form inherited from Old English morphology.
Kelly Says
Cypress trees grow so tall and narrow that they cast almost no shadow despite their height—Mediterranean gardeners used this fact strategically, planting them as windbreaks that don't shade precious gardens, which is why they line so many European estates.
