Is it a coincidence that the word "cherry" sounds remarkably similar to the word "cherish?" Let me find a dictionary and let's see! One is Latin, and the other is...a misinterpretation of North French? So, possibly! Cherish your cherries, folks, they're etymologically complex. Fancy a snack? They've got a base of beans on the inside, and our special soft fur on the outside! Stack 'em! Display 'em! Throw 'em at someone! [Editors note: don't throw them at someone.]
