/t͡ʃɛɹɪˈmɔɪ.ə/ · noun
A subtropical tree, of species Annona cherimola, native to mountainous areas of South America..
To some it tastes like a pina colada without rum; to others, a cross between a strawberry and a pineapple. For natives of the Caribbean the cherimoya is a fruit that can be plucked from backyard trees for nothing.
Mark Twain called the cherimoya "deliciousness itself," though others have described this heart-shaped, fist-sized fruit with pale-green leathery skin as "reptilian," like a "fossil artichoke" or "the finial for a giant four-poster bed."
Use cherimoya when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
