A berry with a dark red color resembling a garnet gemstone.
From garnet (pomegranate-colored gemstone) + berry (Old English berian 'to carry'). Describes fruit by its jewel-like appearance.
Just as garnets were named after pomegranates for their color, garnetberry names a fruit backward—by comparing it to the gemstone that was named after the fruit—a perfect example of circular naming in natural history.
