Etymology

From Middle High German kirse, from Old High German kirsa, from Proto-West Germanic *kirsijā, from Late Latin ceresia, derived from Late Latin ceresium, cerasium, from Ancient Greek κεράσιον (kerásion, cherry fruit), from κερασός (kerasós, bird cherry), and ultimately possibly of Anatolian origin (the intervocalic σ suggests a pre-Greek origin for the word).
