tamarack

English

Etymology

From Canadian French tamarac, believed to derive from an Algonquian word.[1]

In the 19th century, some authorities questioned if tacamahac, tamarack, and hackmatack could be cognate to one another, perhaps all corruptions of one term, but such cognacy is unlikely.[2]

Noun

tamarack (countable and uncountable, plural tamaracks)

Any of several North American larches, of the genus Larix.
- 2005, Joseph Boyden, Three Day Road, Penguin 2008, p. 36:
  The women peeled tamarack bark for tea, dug through the deep snow in hopes of finding a few dried fiddleheads.
- 2012, Stephen King, 11/22/63, p. 116:
  The motor court was set back from the highway and shaded not by tamaracks but by huge stately elms.
The wood from such a tree.
