Ἐλαιῶν
elaía
of Olives
Olive tree, referring primarily to the cultivated or wild olive tree (Olea europaea), and by extension to the fruit (olive berry) produced by this tree. The core lexical sense is the olive tree as a plant, but the term can also denote the olive berry (the fruit), and occasionally groves of olive trees or the product (oil) metonymically. In broader contexts, it could symbolize fruitfulness, prosperity, or Israelite/Judean identity in metaphorical use.
