Proto-Slavic

edit
 
*čèršьňa

Etymology

edit

Changed by reason of being paired with *višьňa (sour cherry) from an earlier *čerša, a borrowing from Vulgar Latin ceresia, the plural of Late Latin ceresium, cerasium reinterpreted as a feminine; ultimately from Ancient Greek κεράσιον (kerásion, cherry). Possibly not directly from Vulgar Latin but mediated through a Germanic language.

Noun

edit

*čèršьňa f

  1. sweet cherry (fruit, tree, or wood) (Prunus avium)
