Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/čeršьňa
Proto-Slavic
editEtymology
editChanged 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
- sweet cherry (fruit, tree, or wood) (Prunus avium)
