acai
/əˈsaɪ.i/
EN
A small, dark purple edible berry from the acai palm tree, native to Central and South America, widely known for its antioxidant properties and common use in smoothies, bowls, and health supplements.
I ordered an acai bowl topped with banana slices and granola for breakfast this morning.
Etymology
The word comes from the Portuguese term açaí, which itself was borrowed from the Tupi-Guarani word ãsa'i, meaning 'fruit that cries', referencing the large amount of juice the berry produces when pressed.
