pea \pea\, n.; pl. peas p=ez or pease p=ez. oe.
   pese, fr. as. pisa, or of. peis, f. pois; both fr. l. pisum;
   cf. gr. pi`sos, pi`son. the final s was misunderstood in
   english as a plural ending. cf. pease.
   1. bot. a plant, and its fruit, of the genus pisum, of
      many varieties, much cultivated for food. it has a
      papilionaceous flower, and the pericarp is a legume,
      popularly called a pod.

   note: when a definite number, more than one, is spoken of,
         the plural form peas is used; as, the pod contained
         nine peas; but, in a collective sense, the form pease
         is preferred; as, a bushel of pease; they had pease at
         dinner. this distinction is not always preserved, the
         form peas being used in both senses.
