/ˈsæfrən//ˈsæfrən/

The word "saffron" originates from the Arabic word "za'faran," which is derived from the Persian word "kesafreh." This term referred to the dried stigmas of the saffron crocus flower (Crocus sativus). The spice has been prized for its vibrant yellow-orange color and distinctive flavor for thousands of years, with records of its use dating back to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. The word "saffron" was later adopted into Middle English from the Old French "safran," with the same meaning. Today, saffron remains a highly sought-after spice, prized for its unique flavor and aroma, as well as its bright, sunny color.
