Etymology of BLACK CHERRY
The word "black cherry" is a compound term formed by combining two words: "black" and "cherry".
The term "black" originates from the Old English word "blæc", which referred to the color black. It has Germanic and Proto-Germanic roots, ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European base *bhleg-, meaning "to burn" or "shining/bright".
The word "cherry" stems from the Old English word "cierse" or "ciris", which was borrowed from Old Northern French "cherise", ultimately originating from the Latin word "cerasum". The Latin term was likely borrowed from a language of Asia Minor, where cherries were first cultivated.
When combined, "black cherry" refers to a specific species of cherry tree, Prunus serotina, which produces dark-colored cherries.
