    That’s because the scientific definition of berries has little in common with the colloquial one. That doesn’t make either wrong, they are just used in different contexts

        The thing is, there is for sure some Latin technical term that you can use. And it’s still close enough to berries to call them that.

          Oh probably, but I don’t speak latin. Most people don’t speak latin; there’s like 1000 people in the world maximum who could hold a conversation in latin.
