Meaning & usage
raspberry, Rubus idaeus
Where this word comes from
First attested as faderma in 1637 (Schroderus; modern spelling vaderma, which is itself attested later); -lm- is first attested (as fadelma) in 1786 (Ganander) and could be by influence from words like hedelmä as well as the metathesis valerma > varelma. The -e- is likely secondary, as the word, through older *vadarma, can be connected with Proto-Finnic *vabarna; the *-d- is by influence with vatukka and may have further been reinforced by the loss of *b (as is the form *vagarma seen in Karelian vakarmo, possibly by analogy with words like *pagaccama → paatsama).
