Cognate with English berry and eventually Dutch bes.
Chiefly in Upper German, the final vowel was lost through early apocope after short vowel + single sonorant. The -e was maintained in the north, however, where it led to a shift to the feminine gender (compare Middle Low GermanCategory:German terms derived from Middle Low German#BEERE bēre f), facilitated by the predominant use in the plural.
