"Respis." In Turner's Herbal called Raspis or Raspices, the latter of which is apparently a double plural. Probably from resp, a word that in the Eastern counties means a shoot, a sucker, a young stem, and especially the fruit-bearing stem of raspberries (Forby). This name it may owe to the fact that the fruit grows on the young shoots of the previous year.
