osoberryn.

Brit.

/ˈəʊsə(ʊ)ˌbɛri/, U.S.

/ˈoʊsoʊˌbɛri/

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Spanish, combined with an English element. Etymons: Spanish oso , berry n.¹

Etymology: Apparently < Spanish oso bear (1032; < classical Latin ursus : see urse n. and compare note below) + berry n.¹ (with reference to the fondness for the fruit attributed to bears, especially grizzly bears, by northern Californian Indians), after Hupa Mit-chā´-e-sahn-me-kew´-e-yel, literally ‘grizzly-bear food’ or Karok Poóraf.The Spanish element oso was perhaps used in the English word to avoid confusion with bearberry n.; borrowing from Californian Spanish is unlikely, since it was not found as far north as the northern Californian Hupa or Karok.

A shrub or small tree of western North America, Oemleria cerasiformis (family Rosaceae), bearing racemes of fragrant greenish-white flowers and blue-black fruits (drupes).
