Polish: *gives species a name that identifies it without ambiguity*
English: berry.
Science: that's not a berry
Same thing with nuts and melons.
This is so common that I wonder if it's the scientists that are wrong. They used the word to describe something different than what's usually called a berry.
I think it's probably because the culinary terms are feel based, while the scientific terms are more rigorously defined, and thus ends up describing different things, because nothing properly fits for the culinary feels-based definitions
