bakeapple

Meaning

The cloudberry, Rubus chamaemorus

Synonyms

dwarf mulberry

Rubus chamaemorus

baked-apple berry

Etymology

Supposedly from French baie, qu'appelle which roughly translates as "what's the name of that berry". This is very liably folk etymology, though—the more obvious derivation bake + apple, influenced by bake in composite words, is suggested by the Oxford English Dictionary.
