         DefinitionShort: tree reaching up to 10 m. high, but usually pruned to around 5 m.; leaves are grayish green above, and whitish underneath; fruit of the olive is about 2 cm. long and a bit more than a cm thick with a hard stone inside and a soft skin that covers the oily flesh; fruit is used for food and oil for cooking, for lamps, for rubbing on the body, for medicine, and in religion (anointing)

         Glosses: olive tree

         Comments: As in the case of other terms for trees which may not be identified by specific receptor-language terms, one can employ a generic expression followed by a borrowed term, for example, ‘a tree producing fruit called olives.’ In the context of {S:04002100100028} and similar passages it is important that ‘Mount of Olives’ not be rendered in such a way as to suggest that it was a mountain consisting of olives or even a mountain consisting of olive trees. A more appropriate expression in some languages is ‘a mountain known for its olive trees’ or ‘a mountain on which many olive trees grow.’ In a number of languages, however, it is important to employ a term such as ‘hill’ rather than ‘mountain,’ since the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem would be regarded in most receptor languages as a ‘hill’ not a ‘mountain.’

         Glosses: olive

         Comments: Since in some languages a term for ‘olive oil’ ({L:ἔλαιον}, {D:6.202}) is better known than the fruit itself, one may employ a descriptive phrase such as ‘the fruit of olive oil’ or ‘the fruit that produces olive oil.’ In certain instances olives are actually known as ‘the cooking-oil fruit.’
