The KJV renders 20 different Hebrew and Greek words as “branch”
What it means
a daughter (used in the same wide sense as other terms of relationship, literally and figuratively)
from H1129 (בָּנָה) (as feminine of H1121 (בֵּן));
How the KJV renders it
apple, branch, company, daughter, town, village
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
