Definition of undefined

The word "apple" has a rich history! It originates from Old English "æppel", which was borrowed from Latin "malus", meaning "apple tree" or "evil". This Latin word is also the source of the English word "evil". In Old English, "æppel" referred to a type of fruit, but not specifically the apple we know today. Over time, the spelling and meaning of the word evolved to become the "apple" we use today. Interestingly, the Latin "malus" is also the origin of other European languages' words for apple, such as French "pomme", Spanish "manzana", and Dutch " appel". The fruit itself was domesticated in Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE and was highly valued for its nutritional and symbolic significance. Today, apples are enjoyed worldwide in many forms, from fresh eating to cooking and making into various products.
