In my opinion, Berry is the odd word. All the others have a sense of "first": a sprout is the initial (first) growth; an adoption is an initial (first) step toward parenthood. Berry, no matter how you look at it, does not seem to have this sense of first.

Spout is the first place water comes out of a pitcher, and so Berry is still the odd word - there is no sense of first about it.
