bo tree
- /ˈbəʊ tɹiː/
Where it comes from
From Sinhalese බෝ (bō) + tree. The first component is from Sanskrit बोधि (bodhi, “perfect knowledge; tree of wisdom”), and thus a doublet of bid in the "offer price" sense.
noun bo trees
-
The peepul tree, Ficus religiosa, regarded as sacred by Hindus and Buddhists.
The same is true of others of the gods; in the old Norse mythology Ygdrasil was the great branching World-Ash, abode of the soul of the universe; the Peepul or Bo-tree in India is very sacred and must on no account be cut down, seeing that gods and spirits dwell among its branches.
Similar: Ficus religiosa, pipal, sacred fig
