Meaning
noun a large table centerpiece with branching holders for fruit or sweets or flowers
originUncertain; perhaps from French épargne (“savings, treasury”), though it is unclear how the new meaning would have been acquired. Perhaps owing to the typical appearance of an épergne as resembling a balance upon which market goods or coins could be weighed.
