1-The word "marmalade" comes from the Portuguese "inannelo" or "marmelo," meaning quince. In fact, until the end of the 18th century, marmalade was made almost exclusively of quinces!

2- "marmalada," is a jam made in Portugal from the quince, which fruit the Portuguese call the marinello. The Portuguese think it strange that the Scotch make their marmalade from Oranges.

3-Marmalade comes from marmelado the Portugese name for a quince preserve, later adapted by the British to describe the famous preserve made from bitter oranges, an essential part of the gentleman's breakfast

Orange derives from Indian, Tamil naranthai to Sanskrit nāraṅgaḥ "orange tree", with borrowings through Persian nārang, Arabic nāranj, Spanish naranja, Late Latin arangia, Italian arancia or arancio, and Old French orenge, in chronological order. The first appearance in English dates from the 14th century. The name of the colour is largely derived from the fruit, first appearing in this sense in the 16th century.

Because the Portuguese word for quince is 'marmela' (derived from the Greek 'meli-melo' meaning 'honey melon') and therefore the Portuguese for quince jelly is 'marmelada'. Quince jelly has somewhat the same colour as orange marmalade (although much less flavour) and somehow, in English, the name got transferred from the one to the other. (But not in Portuguese, where orange marmalade is 'doce de laranja'.)

As far as I'm aware it is a type of jam-no Jam is anything made from soft fruit, pulped together with sugar. Marmalade, of which orange is the most popular, is made from citrus fruits such as lime

Marmalades are made with citrus fruits and contain some of the zest and peel, so they will have a slightly bitter taste as well as sweet. Jellies and Jams are all sweet.
