Definition
Plural of bittersweet; either the climbing vine plant with orange berries, or things that are experiences mixing both happiness and sadness.
Etymology
From the adjective 'bittersweet' (combining Latin 'amarus' for bitter and 'sweetis' for sweet), which originally described plants tasting both sharp and sweet, later extending to emotions.
Kelly Says
Bittersweet berries were traditionally used in folk medicine and dyes, but the plant is actually toxic if eaten in large quantities—nature's way of reminding us that beautiful things aren't always safe.
