ūnĕdo, ōnis, m.,
I. the arbute or strawberry-tree; and also its fruit, Plin. 15, 24, 28, § 98; 23, 8, 79, § 151.
Origins
Unknown. One only knows a folk etymology by Pliny that it comes from ūnum (“one”) + edō (“eat”) because only one fruit could be eaten at a time due to the foul taste—but the strawberry tree fruit is not commonly counted foul, albeit relatively bland.
