| 説明 | Not limes but oranges. They spend a significant amount of time with green skin. Confusingly, the ripeness isn't reflected by the skin colour. But the skin colour can be changed by ethylene gas (like bananas).The Spanish for orange is 'narange', close to the Arabic of 'naranj' and indeed the Sanskrit original of 'naranga' We northern european types lost the 'n' in the 14th century due to 'a narange' sounding exactly the same as 'an arange'.This process of muddling up the 'n' at the beginning of English words is called juncture loss. It gives us 'apron' from 'napron' and 'umpire' from 'noumpire' but can add an 'n', giving us 'newt' from 'ewt' and 'nickname' from 'eke-name'.Interestingly, the colour orange used to be called yellow-red in Old English until oranges arrived. The fruit is therefore older than the colour. This is also true in virtually every language in the world - the word for the fruit and the colour are the same.I absolutely love this etymology stuff - the more weird and obscure, the better. |
