sore-BAY
sorbet |sôrˈbā| noun
a dessert consisting of frozen fruit juice or flavored water and sugar. • archaic an Arabian sherbet.
ORIGIN:
late 16th cent.: from French, from Italian sorbetto, from Turkish şerbet, based on Arabic šariba ‘to drink’ ; compare with sherbet.
sherbet |ˈshər bit| noun
a frozen dessert made with fruit juice added to milk or cream, egg white, or gelatin. • a frozen fruit juice and sugar mixture served as a dessert or between courses of a meal to cleanse the palate. • (esp. in Arab countries) a cooling drink of sweet diluted fruit juices. • Brit. a flavored sweet effervescent powder eaten alone or made into a drink.
ORIGIN:
early 17th cent.: from Turkish şerbet, Persian šerbet, from Arabic šarba ‘drink,’ from šariba ‘to drink.’ Compare with syrup.
USAGE:
The tendency to insert an r into the second syllable of sherbet is very common. Frequency of misuse has not changed the fact that the spelling sherbert and the pronunciation |ˈshər bərt| are wrong and should not be considered acceptable variants.
