hagberryn.

Brit.

/ˈhaɡbɛri/, U.S.

/ˈhæɡˌbɛri/

Forms: 1500s hegberrie, 1600s eggeberry, 1700s– hagberry, 1800s eggberry, 1900s– hegberry. See also hackberry n.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from early Scandinavian.

Etymology: Probably the reflex of a borrowing < early Scandinavian (compare Norwegian heggebær , Old Swedish hägbär (Swedish häggbär ), Danish hægebær (already in early modern Danish)) < the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic heggr bird-cherry tree (see note) + the Scandinavian base of Old Icelandic ber berry n.¹, with remodelling of the second element after berry n.¹; in the form hagberry probably also with remodelling after hag n.² With the forms hegberrie and hegberry perhaps compare variants at hedge n. Compare hedge-berry n.The early Scandinavian name of the tree is reflected in Old Icelandic heggr , Norwegian hegg , Old Swedish hägger (Swedish hägg ), Danish hæg (early modern Danish heg ) < a derivative (ja- stem) of the Germanic base of haw n.¹ (apparently originally denoting enclosures); the tree is perhaps so called on account of its use in hedges (compare the similarly-formed West Germanic base of hedge n., with a different stem class (jō-stem)).

1. English regional (northern) and Scottish. The bird cherry, Prunus padus; (also) the small round astringent fruit of this. Sometimes also (perhaps by confusion): any of several other trees with small rounded fruit, as the wild cherry, Prunus avium, and the wild service tree, Sorbus torminalis.Cf. hackberry n. 1.
