Wiktionary
teeknoun
Obsolete form of teak.
The Teek forests, from whence the marine yard at Bombay are furnished with that excellent species of ship timber, lie along the western side of the Gaut Mountains, and other contiguous ridges of hills, on the north and north-east of Basseen; the numerous rivulets that descend from thence affording water-carriage for the timber. I cannot close this account, without remarking the unpardonable negligence we are guilty of, in delaying to build Teek ships of war for the use of the Indians seas.
Etymology: From Portuguese teca, from Malayalam തേക്കു് (tēkkŭŭ) or Tamil தேக்கு (tēkku).
Wikipedia
teek
Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs (perfect flowers). The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and other small wood projects.Tectona grandis is native to south and southeast Asia, mainly Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Sri Lanka, but is naturalised and cultivated in many countries in Africa and the Caribbean. Myanmar's teak forests account for nearly half of the world's naturally occurring teak. Molecular studies show that there are two centres of genetic origin of teak: one in India and the other in Myanmar and Laos.
