語源
英語の原文(Wiktionary)
From Middle English strawberie, strawbery, from Old English strēawberġe, corresponding to straw + berry. Of various theories advanced to explain the name, the two most plausible are: # from the fact that wild strawberries grow on straw-like runners (compare Norwegian stråbær, denoting cranberries, which grow in a similar way); # from the practice, still common in parts of Europe, of gathering strawberries by stringing them on a straw or stalk.
