3.7 · Plants · Trees
sycamore-fig tree a broad, heavy tree reaching a height of some fifteen meters (about fifty feet), with large, strong branches growing out from the trunk low down on the tree; fruit has the appearance of a small fig but its taste is relatively unpleasant As in the case of other specific trees for which no local term in the receptor language is available, one can borrow a word such as ‘sycamore’ from a dominant language in the area and add a classifier, for example, ‘tree called sycamore,’ but in a number of languages it may be appropriate to render συκομορέα in LUK 19:4 simply as ‘a big tree’ or ‘a wild fig tree.’

(< σῦκον + μόρον, the black mulberry),
a fig-mulberry, a sycamore: Lk 19:4 (cf. συκάμινος).†
Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
συκομορέα, “a fig-mulberry” (Lk 195), to be distinguished from συκάμινος (Lk 17°), ‘fa mulberry.” Hobart (p. 152) thinks that the distinction may be due to Luke’s medical knowledge, seeing that both trees were used medicinally. For the spelling -éa for -ata, cf. Moulton (γ΄. ii. p. 81.
