单词 dewberry
释义

dewberryn.

/ˈdjuːbɛri/
Etymology: < dew n. + berry n.1 Compare modern German thau-beere dewberry, Oberdeutsch taub-ber , tauben-ber , i.e. dove-berry. The origin of the first element is thus doubtful, but it is, in English use, associated with dew n.
A species of blackberry or bramble-berry, the name being applied both to the fruit and the shrub: in Great Britain Rubus cæsius, a low-growing procumbent species, the black fruit of which has a bluish bloom; in North America R. canadensis, resembling the British plant in its low growth and trailing habit, but differing in the fruit. In some earlier English writers, and modern dialects, the name is applied to the gooseberry n. (dayberry n.).Shakespeare's dewberry, which is mentioned among delicate cultivated fruits, is supposed by some to have meant the gooseberry; Hanmer conjectured the raspberry. In some books dewberry is erroneously given as the cloud-berry, Rubus Chamæmorus.
