Etymology
The word 'orange' derives from the Old French term 'orenge', which itself comes from the Arabic 'nāranj', originating from the Persian word 'nārang'. The fruit has been cultivated for thousands of years, with evidence of its cultivation in Southeast Asia. The name entered the English language in the early 14th century, initially referring to the fruit and later extending to describe the color. The transition from referring strictly to the fruit to denoting the color happened due to the prominence of the fruit in Europe. The popularity of oranges in trade and their vibrant hue made the connection to the color inevitable in cultural contexts.
