ceresa
Old Spanish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Vulgar Latin ceresia, from the neuter plural of Late Latin ceresium, from Latin cerasium, from Ancient Greek κεράσιον (kerásion, “cherry”), from κερασός (kerasós, “bird cherry”), ultimately possibly of Anatolian origin.
In the Cartularies of Valpuesta both masculine forms are recorded: cereso (c. 944) and cerezo (c. 1210) as well as a relatinisation zeraysum (c. 1044).
