framboise

/fʁɑ̃.bwaz/

noun, feminine/fʁɑ̃.bwaz/plural: framboises

raspberry (fruit); framboise (a Belgian beer made by fermenting lambic with raspberry)

Ces framboises sont délicieuses.These raspberries are delicious.

Inherited from Middle French and Old French framboise (“raspberry”), from Frankish *brāmabasi (“blackberry”) (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”).
