The words apricot and precocious would seem to have little to do with one another. But in fact they both come from Latin prae- “before” + coquere “cook, ripen”. An apricot is an early ripening fruit, and a precocious person is a metaphorically early ripening person. The unusual form of the word apricot is due to the circuitous path it took in getting to English. Latin (malum) praecoquum “early-ripening (fruit)” became Byzantine Greek berikokkia, which became Arabic al-birquq, which became Portuguese albricoque, which eventually came into 16th century English as abrecock, eventually becoming apricot.
