cow-berryn.

Etymology: < cow n.¹: apparently a rendering of the Latin vaccīnium, < vaccīnus of or pertaining to cows, applied to some plant, supposed to be the Bilberry ( Vaccinium Myrtillus), and now taken as name of the genus.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈcow-berry.

A book-name, of recent bestowal, for the low shrub Vaccinium Vitis-Idæa, and its fruit, called also Red Whortle-berry, Red Huckleberry. The name was unknown to Lightfoot (1789), who has only red whortle-berry.
