Etymology

The word 'nectarine' comes from the Latin word 'nucum' (meaning nut) and the French word 'nectar' (meaning nectar). Nectarines are believed to have originated in China over 2,000 years ago and were introduced to Europe in the 16th century. They are a hybrid of peaches and have since become a popular fruit worldwide.
