colonies, especially at the Cape of Good Hope, and also
in Australia and Canada; as, to live or settle in the
bush.

bushes to support pea vines.

4. A shrub or branch, properly, a branch of ivy (as sacred to
Bacchus), hung out at vintners' doors, or as a tavern
sign; hence, a tavern sign, and symbolically, the tavern
itself.
