Small, round, juicy fruits that grow on bushes or trees, typically sweet and edible. Botanically, any fruit produced from a single flower with one ovary.
Old English 'berie', from Proto-Germanic 'bazja'. The word originally applied to grapes, then expanded to include small fruits. Interestingly, botanical berries include grapes and tomatoes, while strawberries and raspberries are not technically berries.
