The paper dealing with etymological explication of Czech terms for the barberry explains semantic motivation of terms for the European barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.), indigenous in this country. Lexical material is classifi ed into 14 groups according to their semantic motivation. The woody plant has been named by its effects and physiological characteristics: it causes diarrhoea (dřišťál), fruits and leaves are sour (octák); by external marks: a thorny plant (dráč); by practical utilization of fruits for drink preparation (octák, pivník, psí víno, divoké víno); by legends and myths (Kristova koruna, koruna Krista Pána, Krista Pána plač). Common is transmission of terms of other plants to the barberry, based especially on similar fruits resembling the barberry fruits with their form or colour (kaliník, vlašská kalina, farářovy čepičky, bezinki, šípkové jablko). Also loanwords from German (surouch, vančár, vanžár) and Latin (berberka) have been registered.
