- O.E. жppel "apple," from P.Gmc. *ap(a)laz, from PIE *ab(e)l "apple." A generic term for all fruit, other than berries but including nuts, as late as 17c. (cf. Fr. pomme de terre "potato," lit. "earth-apple;" see also melon). Most I.E. languages use a version of this word (cf. Lith. obuolys, Ir. ubull, O.C.S. jabloko, O.H.G. apful), but Gk. melon and L. malum are probably from a pre-I.E. Mediterranean language. Fr. pomme is from L. pomum "fruit." Apple of Discord was thrown into the wedding of Thetis and Peleus by Eris (goddess of chaos and discord), who had not been invited, and inscribed kallisti "To the Prettiest One." Paris, elected to choose which goddess should have it, gave it to Aphrodite, offending Hera and Athene, with consequences of the Trojan War, etc. Apple of one's eye, symbol of what is most cherished, was the pupil, supposed to be a globular solid body. Big Apple "New York" attested from 1909 (but popularized 1970s), apparently from jazz musicians' use of apple for any city, especially a Northern one. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
