What cider means
A beverage made by fermenting apple juice, typically containing alcohol, or sometimes an unfermented sweet apple juice drink popular in fall and winter.
Where the word comes from
Cider comes from Old French cidre, which was borrowed from Latin sicera. The Latin word itself came from Greek sikera, a term for any strong drink or intoxicating beverage. The Greek word may have Semitic roots, possibly related to Hebrew shekar, meaning "strong drink" or "intoxicant." The drink eventually became associated specifically with fermented apple juice in medieval Europe.
