Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: heron n., -ry suffix.
Etymology: < heron n. + -ry suffix, after Middle French haironniere, French †haironnière place where herons breed (1304 in Old French; 1586 in the passage translated in quot. 1600; now héronnière (1555)). Compare Middle French, French (rare) †haironnerie place where herons breed (attested in a small number of examples from 1508 to 1612).With β. forms compare β. forms at heron n. In γ. forms perhaps showing folk-etymological alteration of the ending after row n.1
