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.

Marmalade is basically bits of citrus fruit rind in a jelly base. It can taste sweet or slightly bitter. It's as healthy as any other jelly or jam. Due to the sugar content limited use is OK unless you're hypoglycemic or diabetic.
