Definitions and meaning of agave

agave

Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek Ἀγαυή (Agauḗ, “Agave”), from ἀγαυός (agauós, “noble, illustrious”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /əˈɡɑːveɪ/, /əˈɡeɪviː/
• Rhymes: -eɪvi

Noun

agave (plural agaves)

1. Any plant in the large, variable genus Agave: succulent plants, commonly armed with formidable prickles; they flower at maturity after several years, and generally die thereafter; large species, such as the maguey or century plant, (Agave americana), produce gigantic inflorescences. Several are of economic importance as sources of fibre such as sisal, and alcoholic beverages such as tequila.
   • 1893 Charles Richards Dodge, A Report on the Leaf Fibers of the United States. Pub: Govt. print. office Washington

     The work of cutting the leaves, even from these isolated plants, was in the nature of an ordeal. Every member of the party took a knife and attacked the thicket, no one escaping the experience of bleeding hands and arms and of more or less injured clothing. If there is any place where strong language is halfway excusable it is in a thicket of 'Agave' decipiens.

   Synonym: century plant

Usage notes

Commonly confused with the unrelated genus Aloe, even referred to as "American Aloe".
