Etymology: Apparently shortened < an English borrowing (first attested later: see note) < Cree misāskwatōmina, denoting the fruit < misāskwatw-, misāskwat, denoting the plant + -min fruit, berry + -a inanimate plural ending.For (later) evidence of the longer form in English compare †misaskutum berries (a1857 in an apparently isolated attestation in a text recording events before 1812) and †misaskatomina, †mesaskatomina (1858). Compare also the following (reporting events of 1801), which is probably intended to show an animate plural form of the Cree word in an English context:1820 D. Haskel Harmon's Jrnl. Voy. & Trav. N.
