Etymology
Crackerberry comes from two simple parts, cracker and berry, and a helpful way to remember it is to imagine the small red fruits that seem to 'crack' or 'pop' when you step on or bite them. That's why crackerberry names a low, creeping woodland plant with bright red berries and whorled leaves in northern forests.
