Pea
\Pea\, n.; pl.
Peasor
Pease. [OE. pese, fr. AS. pisa, or
OF. peis, F. pois; both fr. L. pisum; cf. Gr. ?, ?. The final
s was misunderstood in English as a plural ending. Cf.
Pease.]
1. (Bot.) A plant, and its fruit, of the genus
Pisum, of
many varieties, much cultivated for food. It has a
papilionaceous flower, and the pericarp is a legume,
popularly called a pod.
[1913 Webster]
Note: When a definite number, more than one, is spoken of,
the plural form peas is used; as, the pod contained
nine peas; but, in a collective sense, the form pease
is preferred; as, a bushel of pease; they had pease at
dinner. This distinction is not always preserved, the
form peas being used in both senses.
[1913 Webster]
2. A name given, especially in the Southern States, to the
seed of several leguminous plants (species of
Dolichos,
Cicer,
Abrus, etc.) esp. those having a scar (hilum)
of a different color from the rest of the seed.
[1913 Webster]
