Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelhoogduits: olīve

In summary

From Latin olīva. Partially inherited through Middle High German olīve (“olive tree”), but both the undiphthongized form and the fact that the use for the fruit dates only from the 16th century show that the word had not been fully integrated in Middle High German times.
