1. Perrynoun

   Cyder made of pears.

   Etymology: poire, Fr. from poire.

   Perry is the next liquor in esteem after cyder, in the ordering of which, let not your pears be over ripe before you grind them; and with some sorts of pears, the mixing of a few crabs in the grinding is of great advantage, making perry equal to the redstreak cyder. John Mortimer.
