From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Pepper \Pep"per\ (p[e^]p"p[~e]r), n. [OE. peper, AS. pipor, L.
piper, fr. Gr. pe`peri, pi`peri, akin to Skr. pippala,
pippali.]
1. A well-known, pungently aromatic condiment, the dried
berry, either whole or powdered, of the {Piper nigrum}.
[1913 Webster]
Note: {Common pepper}, or {black pepper}, is made from the
whole berry, dried just before maturity; {white pepper}
is made from the ripe berry after the outer skin has
been removed by maceration and friction. It has less of
the peculiar properties of the plant than the black
pepper. Pepper is used in medicine as a carminative
stimulant.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Bot.) The plant which yields pepper, an East Indian woody
climber ({Piper nigrum}), with ovate leaves and apetalous
flowers in spikes opposite the leaves. The berries are red
when ripe. Also, by extension, any one of the several
hundred species of the genus {Piper}, widely dispersed
throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the
earth.
[1913 Webster]
3. Any plant of the genus {Capsicum} (of the {Solanaceae}
family, which are unrelated to {Piper}), and its fruit;
red pepper; chili pepper; as, the {bell pepper} and the
{jalapeno pepper} (both {Capsicum annuum}) and the
{habanero pepper} ({Capsicum chinense}); . These contain
varying levels of the substance {capsaicin} ({C18H27O3N}),
which gives the peppers their hot taste. The habanero is
about 25-50 times hotter than the jalapeno according to a
scale developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912. See also
{Capsicum} and http://www.chili-pepper-plants.com/.
[1913 Webster + PJC]
Note: The term pepper has been extended to various other
fruits and plants, more or less closely resembling the
true pepper, esp. to the common varieties of
{Capsicum}. See {Capsicum}, and the Phrases, below.
