First of all sherbert when correctly spelled is sherbet. Sherbet is part of a larger family of deserts similar to ice cream.

Originally there were sharbats, a non alcoholic fruit drink mixed with crushed ice to produce a slushy like texture.

Later some people would simply take crushed or shaved ice and splash fruit juice on it instead of taking the time to properly mix into a Sharbat. That style of desert creation is like a modern snow cone, fairly similar to an Italian ice or if blended smooth it becomes a sorbet depending on how much juice is added and the texture of the ice.

The next step was developed as people wanted an even smoother version of the crushed ice desert with a stronger flavor but still not as liquid as a Sharbat. They would mix the drinks for a longer period of time and add small amounts of dairy or eggs to create a creamy texture. This could be drank while liquid (similar to a smoothie but still typically called a sharbat or sharbat with cream, etc) or frozen to a more firm texture and eaten with a spoon: The result was known as Sherbet (derived from its drink version the Sharbat).

Eventually people began adding more cream, and would sometimes remove the fruit juice entirely. Using the same process with mostly cream instead of fruit juice creates either a milk shake (if served partially liquid) or ice cream (iced cream/milk) if frozen to a firm texture.

Doing the same process but replacing the cream/milk with yogurt produces Frozen Yogurt.

Sherbert thus falls in between sorbet and ice cream. All of these deserts use a similar smoothing process; the difference is in how much dairy is used.

If no smoothing process is used you have some variation of either an Italian ice, a snow cone or a slushee.

If a smoothing process is used and the product is than frozen to a firmer texture, you end up with something else: If it contains mostly fruit juice and no dairy (or such a small amount of dairy as to be less than 2%) it is a sorbet.

If it is between 2% and 5% dairy than it can be called a sherbet (or sherbert). In the US these % requirements are the legal definition before these terms can be used on the label.

Above 5% dairy and you have an ice cream. Though most high quality ice creams will far exceed 5% (there are some low quality ones which barely meet this requirement). If you replace cream with yogurt, you end up with frozen yogurt.
