A larch is a tall tree with short needles, like a pine. In summer you might walk past one and think it is a pine. In late autumn, though, the needles turn gold and then drop off, and the tree stands bare until spring. That is the odd thing: most needle trees keep their leaves all year, but a larch does not. It grows in cold northern places — mountains and high forests — and whole can go yellow before they go empty. People use the wood for posts and outdoor building because it lasts well in wet ground. The science name Larix is the old Latin word this English word came from. You will also meet Larch as a family name, borrowed from German; that is the same word, used for people.
組成Does not split in English. From early modern German Larche / Lärche, from older German forms going back to Proto-West Germanic *larikā, an early borrowing of Latin larix, from Greek lárix, itself possibly from Gaulish. The surname Larch was borrowed from German.
