Etymology
The word 'mulberry' is derived from the Old English term 'mลซlberie,' which combines 'mลซl' meaning 'mule' and 'berie' meaning 'berry.' The association with mules likely relates to the use of mulberry leaves as a primary food source for silkworms, which are used in silk production. Mulberry trees belong to the genus Morus and are native to warm regions of the world, including parts of Asia, Europe, and North America. Their fruits have been enjoyed since ancient times, both for their flavor and for their medicinal properties. In cultures like those of ancient Rome and China, mulberries held significant value, whether as a food source or for their role in sericulture.
