c.1300, earlier in surname Chyrimuth (1266, literally "Cherry-mouth"); from Anglo-French cherise, from Old North French cherise (Old French, Modern French cerise, 12c.), from Vulgar Latin *ceresia, from late Greek kerasian "cherry," from Greek kerasos "cherry tree," possibly from a language of Asia Minor. Mistaken in Middle English for a plural and stripped of its -s (compare pea). \n

\nOld English had ciris "cherry" from a West Germanic borrowing of the Vulgar Latin word (cognate with German Kirsch), but it died out after the Norman invasion and was replaced by the French word. Meaning "maidenhead, virginity" is from 1889, U.S. slang, from supposed resemblance to the hymen, but perhaps also from the long-time use of cherries as a symbol of the fleeting quality of life's pleasures.

A cherry is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus, and is a fleshy drupe (stone fruit).

The cherry fruits of commerce usually are obtained from a limited number of species such as cultivars of the sweet cherry, Prunus avium. The name 'cherry' also refers to the cherry tree, and is sometimes applied to almonds and visually similar flowering trees in the genus Prunus, as in "ornamental cherry", " cherry blossom", etc. Wild Cherry may refer to any of the cherry species growing outside of cultivation, although Prunus avium is often referred to specifically by the name "wild cherry" in the British Isles.

Kara Elizabeth Drew (born July 15, 1975) is an American retired professional wrestler, valet and former WWE Diva best known under the ring name, Cherry. She worked for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the manager of former Tag Team Champions, Deuce 'n Domino, and as a performer for its SmackDown brand.

After becoming interested in wrestling, Drew worked on the independent circuit under the ring names Miss Kara and Kara Slice. She was assigned to WWE's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) in Louisville, Kentucky in 2005, to continue her wrestling training. While situated at OVW, she used the name Cherry Pie, and she was the manager of the group known as "The Throw-Backs" and later as "The Untouchables", consisting of Deuce Shade and Dice Domino. Cherry managed them to three reigns as OVW Southern Tag Team Champions.

Cherry was an all-Australian girl pop music group. It was one of the first girl bands to emerge since the loss of the successful early 90's girl-group Girlfriend (who later became gf4). Cherry consisted of Zoe, Hayley, Camielle, Gerri and Amy, and was formed in 1998.

The debut single 'SOS' was produced by well known industry producer/songwriter Michael Szumowski ( Toni Pearen, Bardot, Marcia Hines, Guy Sebastian, Shannon Noll), and released on Columbia and Sony Music Entertainment. The single did not chart, so the label reworked the band's image, deciding on a more edgy approach. This resulted in the group covering the Transvision Vamp hit ' I Want Your Love'. The B-side single featured the track 'The way you do' penned by Szumowski and local artist Toni Pearen. Once again, it did not meet with success, and the label went back to the drawing board, spending more time on promotion in local teen magazines and local appearances. The group also embarked on a club tour around Australia, mostly at gay venues.

The group then went on to release their third single written by well-known songwriter Diane Warren, a ballad titled 'Saddest Song' Originally by American r&b/soul girl group For Real with the title being "The Saddest Song I Ever Heard". The single also featured a dance remix and rnb versions of the song. The track reached No. 46 on the ARIA charts on 25 July 1999, their first (and only) charting hit. At this time, two of the groups singers, Zoe and Amy, left the group, only leaving three remaining members of the group. Camielle, Gerri and Hayley decided to continue as a three piece outfit and after lengthy discussions with their record label it was decided that they would re-record all the tracks that had been finished for their as yet released debut album Sacred Kiss that had been recorded with Amy and Zoe's vocals, and also re-release third single Saddest Song as a three piece. A new video was made for the song and even released to music television stations, but the single and album were cancelled last minute by the record label.

With no further official releases, the group disbanded by the end of the year. Their album Sacred Kiss, featuring a title track also penned by Diane Warren, was not released. Camielle had a short solo career in 2002, releasing the single 'Yada Yada Yada'.
