pop someone's cherry

vulgar slang Have sexual intercourse with someone who is a virgin.
〈非正式〉与处女发生性关系

Origin

Middle English: from Old Northern French cherise, from medieval Latin ceresia, based on Greek kerasos 'cherry tree, cherry'. The final -s was lost because cherise was interpreted as plural (compare with caper² and pea).

Cherry comes from Old French cherise, and at first cheris(e) was the English word for the fruit too. When people heard this word they seem to have thought that it must be a plural and so decided that the word for one of these fruit was cherry. Pea is another example of the same process. The cherry is one of the few fruits native to Britain, and although delicious it has a short fruiting season. For these reasons it represents something pleasant or desirable in a number of common expressions. To have two bites (or a second bite) at the cherry is to have more than one attempt or chance to do something. An extremely pleasant or enjoyable experience can be described as a bowl of cherries. And the cherry on the cake is an attractive feature that provides the finishing touch.
