  Hickory \Hick"o*ry\, n. [North American Indian pawcohiccora
     (Capt. J. Smith) a kind of milk or oily liquor pressed from
     pounded hickory nuts. ``Pohickory'' is named in a list of
     Virginia trees, in 1653, and this was finally shortened to
     ``hickory.'' --J. H. Trumbull.] (Bot.)
     An American tree of the genus Carya, of which there are
     several species. The shagbark is the Carya alba, and has a
     very rough bark; it affords the hickory nut of the markets.
     The pignut, or brown hickory, is the Carya glabra. The
     swamp hickory is Carya amara, having a nut whose shell is
     very thin and the kernel bitter.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Hickory shad. (Zo["o]l.)
     (a) The mattowacca, or fall herring.
     (b) The gizzard shad.
         [1913 Webster]

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :   [ web1913 ]

  Shad \Shad\ (sh[a^]d), n. sing. & pl. [AS. sceadda a kind of
     fish, akin to Prov. G. schade; cf. Ir. & Gael. sgadan a
     herring, W. ysgadan herrings; all perhaps akin to E. skate a
     fish.] (Zo["o]l.)
     Any one of several species of food fishes of the Herring
     family. The American species ({Clupea sapidissima), which is
     abundant on the Atlantic coast and ascends the larger rivers
     in spring to spawn, is an important market fish. The European
     allice shad, or alose ({C. alosa), and the twaite shad. ({C.
     finta), are less important species. [Written also chad.]
  
     Note: The name is loosely applied, also, to several other
           fishes, as the gizzard shad (see under Gizzard),
           called also mud shad, white-eyed shad, and winter
           shad.
  
     Hardboaded, or Yellow-tailed, shad, the menhaden.
  
     Hickory, or Tailor, shad, the mattowacca.
  
     Long-boned shad, one of several species of important food
        fishes of the Bermudas and the West Indies, of the genus
        Gerres.
  
     Shad bush (Bot.), a name given to the North American shrubs
        or small trees of the rosaceous genus Amelanchier ({A.
        Canadensis, and A. alnifolia) Their white racemose
        blossoms open in April or May, when the shad appear, and
        the edible berries (pomes) ripen in June or July, whence
        they are called Juneberries. The plant is also called
        service tree, and Juneberry.
  
     Shad+frog,+an+American+spotted+frog+({Rana+halecina" rel="nofollow">Shad frog, an American spotted frog ({Rana halecina); --
        so called because it usually appears at the time when the
        shad begin to run in the rivers.
  
     Trout shad, the squeteague.
  
     White shad, the common shad.
