Etymology
Allegedly a Proto-Slavic *česmìnъ, *česmìna in a collective-singulative relation from *česati (“to scratch”). While Old Slovenian чесмина (česmina) meant the holm oak and Old Church Slavonic чрѣсмина (črěsmina) also meant the holm oak, looking on the red berries of the holly and barberry denoted by the word one must warn that this word not be confused with the forms of Proto-Slavic *čèršьňa (“sweet cherry”).
