A creeping berry plant (Rubus chamaemorus) found in northern regions, bearing an edible golden fruit also called cloudberry.
From Old Norse 'bak' (back/behind) and English 'apple,' or possibly from Old Norse 'bakappel' directly. The plant grows in boggy areas of Scandinavia and Canada.
Bakeapple is one of the few English words that preserves Old Norse heritage in everyday vocabulary—Scandinavian settlers kept their word for this plant when they colonized the North.
