sherry

• n. シェリー（スペイン産の力強い白ワイン）; ワイン
• n.（シェリー）人の名前；（英）Sherry

シェリー酒で有名なスペイン南西部の都市、ヘレス、トラキア（現在はヘレスと表記）のワイン、シェリス（sherris）から。シェリス（Sherris）の複数形と仮定した誤りにより、最終的に単数形はシェリー（sherry）となり、本来はチェリー（cherise）であった誤った比較に似ている。

sherry

sherry: [16] Various sorts of dryish or sweetened white wine known as sack (etymologically ‘dry wine’) were imported into England in the 16th and 17th centuries. Many came from Spain, and the sort made around Xerez (now Jerez) in southern Spain was called in English (in an approximation to the Spanish pronunciation of Xerez) sherris sack. Before the end of the 16th century this had been reduced to sherry, which in due course came to be applied to the fortified Spanish wine that now goes by that name.

sherry (n.)

kind of white wine, c. 1600, mistaken singular from sherris (1530s), from Spanish (vino de) Xeres "(wine from) Xeres," modern Jerez (Roman (urbs) Caesaris) in Spain, near the port of Cadiz, where the wine was made.
