Maraschino
/ˌmærəˈʃiːnəʊ//ˌmærəˈʃiːnəʊ/The origin of the word "maraschino" can be traced back to the Mediterranean region, specifically the Croatian town of Zadar, where cherries have been grown since ancient times. These cherries, known as marasca cherries, were so named because the town of Zadar (formerly known as Zara) was part of the Republic of St. Mark (Ragusa in Croatian), which adopted the name Maraska from the Greek word for "honey-sweet" in honor of these cherries. The Italian word for these cherries, "marasco," eventually made its way into the English language as "maraschino," which, in the context of cocktails and confectionery, refers to cherries that have been preserved in a sugar syrup with a maraschino liqueur made from the marasca cherries.
