cranberryn.

/ˈkranbəri/

Forms: Also 1700s craneberry.

Etymology: A name of comparatively recent appearance in English; entirely unknown to the herbalists of 16–17th cent., who knew the plant and fruit as marsh-whorts , fen-whorts , fen-berries , marsh-berries , moss-berries . Several varieties of the name occur in continental languages, as German kranichbeere , kranbeere , Low German krônbere , krones- or kronsbere , krônsbär , kranebere (all meaning crane-berry ); compare also Swedish tranbär , Danish tranebær , < trana , trane , crane. As to its introduction into England, see sense 1.

1. The fruit of a dwarf shrub, Vaccinium Oxycoccos, a native of Britain, Northern Europe, Siberia, and North America, growing in turfy bogs: a small, roundish, dark red, very acid berry. Also the similar but larger fruit of V. macrocarpon, a native of North America ( large cranberry or American cranberry). Both are used for tarts, preserves, etc. The name is also given to the shrubs themselves.The name appears to have been adopted by the North American colonists from some Low German source, and brought to England with the American cranberries ( V. macrocarpon), imported already in 1686, when Ray ( Hist. Pl. 685) says of them ‘hujus baccas a Nova Anglia usque missas Londini vidimus et gustavimus. Scriblitis seu ortis (Tarts nostrates vocant) eas inferciunt’. Thence it began to be applied in the 18th cent. to the British species ( V. Oxycoccos). In some parts, where the latter is unknown, the name is erroneously given to the cowberry ( V. Vitis Idæa).
