Etymology
The word 'orange' derives from the Old French term 'orenge', which originated from the Arabic 'nāranj', itself borrowed from the Persian 'nārang'. Its roots can be traced further back to the Sanskrit word 'nāraṅga'. The fruit was cultivated in Southeast Asia and later spread to the Mediterranean region and beyond. By the time it made its way into English in the 14th century, 'orange' referred primarily to the fruit. Over time, the word evolved to also represent the color. The introduction of citrus fruits to Europe significantly changed culinary practices and brought about the popularity of oranges, particularly in Spain and Italy. It’s interesting to note that the color orange was named after the fruit, rather than the other way around.
