Definition of undefined

The origin of the word "orange" dates back to the 9th century. The fruit was known as "narinj" or "naranj" in Sanskrit, which was later adopted in Arabic as "naranj." From there, it was borrowed into Old Occitan as "pomme d'orange," meaning "golden apple." This term was then used in Middle English as "orange," first appearing in writing in the 14th century. The word "orange" was originally used to describe the fruit, as well as the color, which was associated with the fruit's vibrant color. Over time, the word "orange" became universally adopted to describe the fruit, with its cultivation and trade having a significant impact on global cultures.
