cherry
English
Etymology
From Middle English chery, cherie, chirie, from Anglo-Norman cherise (mistaken as a plural) and Old English ?iris, ?irse (“cherry”), both ultimately from Vulgar Latin ceresia, derived from Late Latin ceresium, cerasium, from Ancient Greek ???????? (kerásion, “cherry fruit”), from ??????? (kerasós, “bird cherry”), and ultimately possibly of Anatolian origin (the intervocalic ? suggests a pre-Greek origin for the word). Doublet of cerise.
