Cranberry morpheme : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cranberry morpheme In linguistic morphology, a cranberry morpheme (or fossilized term) is a type of bound morpheme that cannot be assigned an ''independent'' meaning or grammatical function, but nonetheless serves to distinguish one word from the other.〔("Cranberry morpheme" ) from the Lexicon of Linguistics ()〕 ==Etymology==
The archetypal example is the ''cran'' of ''cranberry''. Unrelated to the homonym ''cran'' with the meaning ''a case of herrings'', this ''cran'' actually comes from ''crane'' (the bird), although the connection is not immediately evident. Similarly, ''mul'' exists only in ''mulberry'' (''mul'' is from Latin ''morus'', the mulberry tree). Phonetically, the first morpheme of ''raspberry'' also counts as a cranberry morpheme, even though the word "rasp" does occur by itself. Compare these with ''blackberry'', which has two obvious unbound morphemes, and to ''loganberry'' and ''boysenberry'', whose first morphemes are derived from personal names.
