Etymology

[edit]

The color or name comes from the French word cerise, meaning "cherry".

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of cerise as a color name in English was in The Times of November 30, 1858.[2] This date of 1858 as the date of first use of the color name is also mentioned in the 1930 book A Dictionary of Color.[3] However, it was used at least as early as 1845 in a book of crochet patterns.[4]
