Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines the adjective 'hard', denoting the presence of alcohol through fermentation, with 'cider', which derives via Old French 'cidre' from Late Latin 'sicera' and ultimately from Hebrew 'shēkhār' meaning strong drink. While 'cider' in the UK traditionally refers to the alcoholic beverage, North American English adopted 'hard cider' as a specific distinction following the temperance movement to separate the fermented drink from non-alcoholic apple juice.
