Sp. albaricoque or Pg. albricoque, fr. Ar. albirq[=u]q,

from the Arabic through the Spanish, yet the Arabic word
itself was formed from the Gr. praiko`kia, pl. (Diosc. c.
100) fr. L. praecoquus, praecox, early ripe. The older E.
form apricock was prob. taken direct from Pg. See
Precocious, Cook.] (Bot.)
