Etymology of CHERISHED

The word "cherished" comes from the Middle English term "cherishen", which was derived from the Old French word "cheriss", meaning "to cherish, hold dear, or love". The Old French word, in turn, originated from the Latin word "carus", meaning "dear" or "loved". The word "carus" is also cognate with the Latin word "carere", meaning "to be without" or "to lack". Over time, "cherished" evolved to encompass the concept of holding something dear or treating it with love and affection.
