Etymology

In summary

Inherited from Middle French and Old French framboise (“raspberry”), from Frankish *brāmabasi (whence Dutch braambes), variant of Proto-West Germanic *brāmabaʀi (whence German Brombeere), all "blackberry, bramble". The French f- is due to dissimilation and influence by unrelated fraise (“strawberry”).
