- 1夏威夷豆（台灣慣稱；樹原產澳洲，包裝上有時寫澳洲堅果）
A round, sweet, white nut with a very hard shell. People crack the shell and eat the rich inside — buttery, a little like coconut, and usually more expensive than peanuts or walnuts. The same word is also the tropical tree that grows this nut. In shops and recipes you will hear macadamia nut far more often than the tree meaning, unless someone is talking about farming. Though actually, many tins and ice-cream tubs say Hawaiian, so students think the tree is from Hawaii. The tree first grew in Australia; Hawaii planted a lot of them later, and the holiday-gift name stuck. It is an ordinary food word, a bit fancy on a menu, not slang.
組成From the genus name Macadamia, coined in 1857 by the German-Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, in honor of John Macadam. His surname Macadam / MacAdam is Scottish Gaelic Mac Àdhaimh, mac “son of” + Àdhamh “Adam”; the nut is named after the man, not after Adam the biblical figure.
