Is banana a berry or is it there just for scale?
yup https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_(botany)
a berry is a fleshy fruit without a stone (pit) produced from a single flower containing one ovary. Berries so defined include grapes, currants, and tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, eggplants (aubergines) and bananas, but exclude certain fruits that meet the culinary definition of berries, such as strawberries and raspberries.
Botany should not have borrowed the word berry.
I am of the opinion that “a small, sweet, edible fruit” is closer to the right definition for the word, and that botanists’ decision to appropriate the word for a redefined purpose was inappropriate and unnecessary.
When did this all occur? Was berry a word for things like strawberries before and then it was chosen by botanists to meet another definition?
Sounds to me like we need a new definition for berry.
You mean Scaleberry?
