Not one berry but a gang of tiny fruits cosplaying as a single thug.
means A dark, juicy aggregate fruit made of many tiny drupelets clustered together, growing on a thorny bramble (genus Rubus).
from A plainly descriptive Old English compound — blæc 'black' plus berie 'berry' — for the dark fruit of the bramble. The 'berry' part traces back to a Proto-Germanic root for edible small fruits, a cousin of words like German Beere. Despite the name and the look, it isn't a true berry in the botanical sense, but the name simply describes what your eyes and fingers tell you: black, and a berry.
