beechnut

/ˈbiːt͡ʃˌnʌt/ noun B1

a nut from a beech tree

Word Origin Beechnut is simply the nut of the beech tree. Interestingly, beech is related to book — because early Germanic peoples wrote on beechwood tablets. So beechnut connects to both the tree and the written word. The nut part is from Proto-Germanic *hnuts, which also gives us walnut, chestnut, and peanut.
