[Middle English, from Old French pume orenge, translation and alteration (influenced by Orenge, Orange, a town in France) of Old Italian melarancio : mela, fruit + arancio, orange tree (alteration of Arabic nāranj , from Persian nārang , from Sanskrit nārangaḥ , possibly of Dravidian origin).]
orangy or'ang·y or or'ang·ey (-ĭn-jē) adj.WORD HISTORY Oranges imported to China from the United States reflect a journey come full circle, for the orange had worked its way westward for centuries, originating in China, then being introduced to India, and traveling on to the Middle East, into Europe, and finally to the New World. The history of the word orange keeps step with this journey only part of the way. The word is possibly ultimately from Dravidian, a family of languages spoken in southern India and northern Sri Lanka. The Dravidian word or words were adopted into the Indo-European language Sanskrit with the form nārangaḥ. As the fruit passed westward, so did the word, as evidenced by Persian nārang and Arabic nāranj. Arabs brought the first oranges to Spain, and the fruit rapidly spread throughout Europe. The important word for the development of our term is Old Italian melarancio, derived from mela, "fruit," and arancio, "orange tree," from Arabic nāranj. Old Italian melarancio was translated into Old French as pume orenge, the o replacing the a because of the influence of the name of the town of Orange, from which oranges reached the northern part of France. The final stage of the odyssey of the word was its borrowing into English from the Old French form orenge. Our word is first recorded in Middle English in a text probably composed around 1380, a time preceding the arrival of the orange in the New World.

Orange
Valencia orange
The fruit of the orange tree, a tree originally from China. Oranges are classed into two groups covering the bitter oranges and the sweet oranges.
The bitter orange is the ancestor of the sweet oranges. It is also called a "bigarade" or "Seville" orange. It has a thick, rough rind with tints of green or yellow. It is also smaller than the sweet orange. Its flesh, low in juice, is very bitter.
The sweet orange is the juicy orange that is so widely enjoyed, sweet and tart. There are several varieties of sweet oranges.
The Valencia orange is the preeminent juicing orange. Its very juicy and tart flesh contains few or no seeds.
The navel orange has a thick, rough rind and is easy to peel. Its firm-textured flesh is sweet, tasty and almost always seedless.
The blood orange is a hybrid with red flesh and usually without seeds. Its flesh is sweet, juicy and very perfumed.
Commercial practices have resulted in some oranges being identified by brand name, such as Sunkist, Jaffa or Outspan.
Buying
Choose: a firm orange that is heavy for its size, with smooth skin.
Avoid: an orange with soft parts, black spots and mold.
Serving Ideas
Oranges are eaten plain, cooked or made into various drinks. They are used in fruit salads, soufflés, flans, crepes, ice creams, sorbets and punches. Orange adds an unusual touch to sauces, vinaigrettes, vegetables and salads of rice, chicken or seafood. It works well with fish, duck, beef and pork. Oranges are cooked into marmalade. The zest and flesh of the orange is candied. An essential oil and an essence used in pastries and sweets are extracted from oranges.
The flowers are distilled to make essential oils (for example, Neroli Bigarade) and the orange flower water that flavors crepes, flans, syrups, pastries and herbal teas. The bigarade (bitter orange) especially is used to make preserves or cooked (marmalade, jam, jelly, syrup, sauce). Cointreau®, Curaçao and Grand Marnier® owe their orange flavor to bigarade orange zest.
Storing
At room temperature: about 1 week. Keep candied or dried zest in a cool and dry place.
In the fridge: extended storage.
In the freezer: the juice and the zest.
The skin of the orange must be rinsed if the zest will be used.

Any of several species of small trees or shrubs in the genus Citrus of the rue (or citrus) family and their fruits. Grown in tropical and subtropical regions, the nearly round fruits have leathery, oily rinds and edible, juicy inner flesh rich in vitamin C. Key commercial species include the China (sweet, or common) orange; the mandarin orange (including tangerines); and seedless navel oranges. The tree has broad, glossy, medium-size evergreen leaves, leafstalks with narrow wings, and very fragrant flowers. It bears fruit abundantly for 5080 years. Oranges do not improve in quality off the tree, so they are picked when fully ripe. A sizeable portion of the U.S. crop is processed for frozen concentrated juice. By-products include essential oils, pectin, candied peel, orange marmalade, and stock feed.

The sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) is the most widely used species of citrus fruit and commercially is the most important. The sour or bitter oranges, of lesser importance, are distinct from sweet oranges and are classified as a separate species, C. aurantium. The United States is the largest producer of oranges, followed by Spain, Italy, and Brazil. The orange is also a major crop in several other countries.
Sweet orange fruit is consumed fresh or as frozen or canned juice. A large portion of the crop, particularly in the United States, is used as frozen concentrate. After the juice is extracted, the peel and pulp are used for cattle feed. Peel oil is used in perfumes and flavoring, and citrus molasses is used as a livestock feed.
The sweet orange tree is a moderately vigorous evergreen with a rounded, densely foliated top. The fruits are round or somewhat elongate and usually orange-colored when ripe. They can be placed in four groups: the common oranges, acid-less oranges, pigmented oranges, and navel oranges. They may also be distinguished on the basis of early midseason, and late maturity. See also Fruit; Fruit, tree.

Citrus fruit, from the subtropical tree Citrus sinensis. Of nutritional value mainly because of its vitamin C content of 40-60 mg/ 100 g. Blood oranges are coloured by the presence of anthocyanins in the juice vesicles. One medium orange (160 g) is a rich source of vitamin C; a good source of folate; a source of vitamins A (as carotene) and B1; contains 3.2 g of dietary fibre; supplies 60 kcal (250 kJ).

Contrary to what most of us think, this fruit was not named for its color. Instead, the word orange comes from a transliteration of the sanskrit naranga . . . Which comes from the Tamil naru . . . Which means "fragrant." It's thought that the reason oranges have long been associated with fertility (and therefore, weddings) is because this lush evergreen tree can simultaneously produce flowers, fruit and foliage. Though oranges originated in Southeast Asia, they now also thrive around the world in warm-climate areas including Portugal, Spain, North Africa and, in the United States (the world's largest producer), Arizona, California, Florida and Texas. There are three basic types of orange-sweet, loose-skinned and bitter. Sweet oranges are prized both for eating and for their juice. They're generally large and have skins that are more difficult to remove than their loose-skinned relatives. They may have seeds or be seedless. Among the more popular sweet oranges are the seedless navel, the juicy, coarse-grained valencia and the thin-skinned, red-fleshed blood orange. Sweet oranges are better eaten fresh than cooked. Loose-skinned oranges are so named because their skins easily slip off the fruit. Their segments are also loose and divide with ease. Members of the mandarin orange family are all loose skinned; they vary in flavor from sweet to tart-sweet. Bitter oranges, the most well-known of which are the seville and the bergamot, are-as their name implies-too sour and astringent to eat raw. Instead, they're cooked in preparations such as marmalade and bigarade sauce. Bitter oranges are also greatly valued for their peel, which is candied, and their essential oils, which are used to flavor foods as well as some liqueurs, such as curaçao. Most of the bitter orange supply comes from Spain. USDA grading of oranges is voluntary and not considered necessary by most growers. The two grades used are U.S. Fancy (best) and U.S. No. 1. Fresh oranges are available year-round at different times, depending on the variety. Choose fruit that is firm and heavy for its size, with no mold or spongy spots. Unfortunately, because oranges are sometimes dyed with food coloring, a bright color isn't necessarily an indicator of quality. Regreening sometimes occurs in fully ripe oranges, particularly with Valencias. A rough, brownish area (russeting) on the skin doesn't affect flavor or quality either. Oranges can be stored at cool room temperature for a day or so, but should then be refrigerated and can be kept there for up to 2 weeks. Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin C and contain some vitamin A. Once cut or squeezed, however, the vitamin C quickly begins to dissipate. After only 8 hours at room temperature or 24 hours in the refrigerator, there's a 20 percent vitamin C loss. Canned, bottled and frozen-concentrate orange juices have a greatly decreased vitamin C content. See also king orange; temple orange.

orange
orange, name for a tree of the family Rutaceae (rue, or orange, family), native to China and Indochina, and for its fruit, the most important fresh fruit of international commerce. Its physical characteristics (especially the rich citric acid and vitamin content of the fruit) and history of cultivation are similar to those of the other types of citrus fruits, all of which are species of Citrus.
Among the commercially important species of oranges are the sweet, or common, orange (C. sinensis), which furnishes most of the varieties for commercial growing, including the Baiá, or Washington, navel (a winter orange), and the Valencia (a summer orange); the sour, or Seville, orange (C. aurantium), which is grown in the United States chiefly as understock on which to bud sweet orange varieties, although in Europe its fruit is much used in marmalade; the mandarin (C. reticulata or nobilis), or the "kid glove," or loose-rind, group of oranges, which includes the Satsuma varieties, known for their hardiness, tangerines, and clementines. Oranges hybridize freely. The Temple orange is a cross between a mandarin and a sweet orange; the citrange a cross between the inedible trifoliate orange (C. trifoliata) and a sweet orange; and the tangelo is produced by crossing a tangerine and a grapefruit.
Columbus brought the orange to the West Indies, and it is known that orange trees were well established in Florida before 1565 and were growing in California by 1800. The orange now grows in the warm parts of all continents. Flowers and fruits in all stages of development are on the tree throughout the year, although a large portion of the fruits ripen at one time. The orange is attacked by many insects and fungus diseases and is quite sensitive to frost. If the fruits are picked when still "green" (though fully mature), they must undergo a bleaching or degreening process to bring out the orange or yellow color in their rinds. Some oranges are artificially colored and waxed before marketing.
Most oranges, like other citrus fruits, are consumed fresh or made into juice. The fruit and rind are also much used in marmalade, preserves, flavoring, and confections. Some varieties yield essential oils used in perfume. The flower is a favorite for bridal decoration and is the state flower of Florida. The yellow wood, which is hard and close-grained, is manufactured into small articles.
Orange is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Sapindales, family Rutaceae.

Source: Bitter orange Citrus aurantium L. (syn. C. aurantium L. ssp. amara (L.) Engl.; C. vulgaris Risso; C. bigaradia Risso); Sweet orange Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. (syn. C. aurantium L. var. sinensis L.; C. aurantium L. var. dulcis Pers.; C. aurantium L. ssp. dulcis L.; C. aurantium Risso ssp. sinensis Engl.) (Family Rutaceae).
Bitter orange is an evergreen glabrous (nonhairy) tree with long but not very sharp spines and very fragrant flowers; membranes and pulp of fruit very bitter and sour; up to about 10 m high; native to southern China and northeastern India; cultivated in China, southern Europe, and the United States. Its trunk is more resistant to plant diseases than those of other citrus trees and consequently serves as stock for the less resistant sweet orange. Parts used are the peel of the fruit, freshly picked flowers, and leaves and twigs.
Bitter orange oil is obtained from the fresh peel by cold expression in about 0.15% yield, by machine or hand. Its major producers include Guinea, southern European countries (especially Spain and Italy), Brazil, and the West Indies. The Guinean and Spanish oils are considered of the best quality.
Neroli oil (orange flower oil) is obtained from the freshly picked flowers of bitter orange by steam distillation in about 0.1% yield. Major producers include France, Italy, and Tunisia. The distillation water from which the oil layer has been removed is called orange flower water.
Petitgrain oil is obtained from the leaves (also twigs) of bitter orange by steam distillation in about 0.2% yield. Major producers include France, Haiti, Paraguay, and Guinea.
Sweet orange exists in numerous varieties (e.g., Navel, Jaffa, and Valencia). It is a smaller tree than the bitter orange tree, less hardy, and with few or no spines; fruits smaller, with sweet pulp and nonbitter membranes; generally believed to be native to China; extensively cultivated worldwide, especially in the United States (e.g., California and Florida) and Mediterranean countries. Part used is the peel of the partially or fully ripe fruit. The peel used for the preparation of Sweet Orange Peel Tincture N.F. is specified to be derived from the nonartificially colored ripe fruit and devoid of the albedo (inner white portion of the rind).
Sweet orange oil, commonly known simply as orange oil, is obtained by one of the three major methods: (1) cold expression (hand or machine) of the fresh peel, (2) steam distillation of the fresh peel (either already expressed or not yet processed), and (3) distillation of the essences recovered as a by-product in the manufacture of orange juice concentrates. Major producers of cold-expressed sweet orange oil include the United States, Cyprus, Guinea, Israel, and Brazil, while the United States is the major producer of the distilled sweet orange oil.
Terpeneless orange oils (both bitter and sweet) are obtained from the respective oils by vacuum distillation and/or extraction with dilute ethyl alcohol whereby all or most of the terpenes (e.g., limonene) are removed.

Orange (word)
The word orange is both a noun and an adjective in the English language. In both cases, it refers primarily to the orange fruit and the colour orange, but has many other derivative meanings.
The word derives from a Dravidian language, and it passed through numerous other languages including Sanskrit and Old French before reaching the English language. The earliest uses of the word in English refer to the fruit, and the colour was later named after the fruit. Before the English-speaking world was exposed to the fruit, the colour was referred to as "yellow-red" (geoluhread in Old English) or "red-yellow".[1] Although the word was used attributively in the sixteenth century (as in orange-coloured), it was not established as a basic colour word until well into the twentieth century.
It is widely claimed that the word orange has no true rhyme. There are, however, half rhymes or near-rhymes, as well as some proper nouns that rhyme with it. This lack of rhymes has inspired many humorous poems and songs.

Etymology
The word orange entered Middle English from Old French and Anglo-Norman orenge.[2] The earliest recorded use of the word in English is from the 13th century and referred to the fruit. The earliest attested use of the word in reference to the colour is from the 16th century.[2] It is generally thought that Old French borrowed the Italian melarancio ("fruit of the orange tree", with mela "fruit") as pume orenge (with pume "fruit").[3][4] Although pume orenge is attested earlier than melarancio in available written sources, lexicographers believe that the Italian word is actually older.[5] The word ultimately derives from a Dravidian language—possibly Telugu నారింజ naarinja or Malayalam നാരങ്ങ naaranga or Tamil நாரம் nāram—via Sanskrit नारङ्ग nāraṅgaḥ "orange tree", with borrowings through Persian نارنگ nārang and Arabic نارنج nāranj.
The place name Orange has a separate etymology. The Roman-Celtic settlement was founded in 36 or 35 BCE and originally named Arausio, after a Celtic water god.[6] The Principality of Orange was named for this place and not for the colour. Some time after the sixteenth century, though, the colour orange was adopted as a symbol of the House of Orange-Nassau.[7] The colour eventually came to be associated with Protestantism, due to participation by the House of Orange on the Protestant side in the French Wars of Religion and the Dutch Eighty Years' War.[8]
Late use as a basic colour word
After the introduction of the word orange, its use as a colour word was metaphorical, like 'ash', 'cinnabar', or 'bone', rather than as a basic colour word. Although Newton used the word in his colour wheel in 1704,[9] the derived adjective orangish is not attested until 1888,[10] and yellow-red or red-yellow was used as the 'proper' word for orange as late as 1960. Colour wheels based on the Munsell color system continued to use five basic colours—red, yellow, green, blue, purple—with the orange colour between red and yellow called "yellow-red".[11]
Rhyme
It is widely accepted that no single English word is a true rhyme for orange, though there are half rhymes such as hinge, lozenge, syringe, flange, Stonehenge, or porridge.[12] Despite the fact that this property is not unique to the word — one study of 5,411 one-syllable English words found 80 words with no rhymes[13] — the lack of rhyme for orange has garnered significant attention, and inspired many humorous verses.
Although sporange, a variant of sporangium, is an eye rhyme for orange, it is not a true rhyme as its second syllable is pronounced with an unreduced vowel [-ændʒ], and often stressed.[14]
There are a number of proper nouns which rhyme or nearly rhyme with orange, including The Blorenge, a mountain in Wales, and Gorringe, a surname. US Naval Commander Henry Honychurch Gorringe, the captain of the USS Gettysburg who discovered Gorringe Ridge in 1875,[15] led Arthur Guiterman to quip in "Local Note":
- In Sparkill buried lies that man of mark
- Who brought the Obelisk to Central Park,
- Redoubtable Commander H.H. Gorringe,
- Whose name supplies the long-sought rhyme for "orange."[16]
Compound words or phrases may give true or near rhymes in some accents. Examples include door-hinge, torn hinge, or inch, and a wrench. William Shepard Walsh attributes this verse featuring two multiple-word rhymes for orange to W.W. Skeat.
- I gave my darling child a lemon,
- That lately grew its fragrant stem on;
- And next, to give her pleasure more range,
- I offered her a juicy orange.
- And nuts, she cracked them in the door-hinge.[17]
Enjambment can also provide for rhymes. One example is Willard Espy's poem, "The Unrhymable Word: Orange".
- The four eng-
- ineers
- Wore orange
- brassieres.[18]
Another example by Tom Lehrer relies on the way many Americans pronounce orange as /ˈɑrəndʒ/, as opposed to /ˈorəndʒ/:
- Eating an orange
- While making love
- Makes for bizarre enj-
- oyment thereof.[19]
Nonce words are sometimes contrived to rhyme with orange. Composers Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel wrote the song "Oranges Poranges" to be sung by the Witchiepoo character on the television programme H.R. Pufnstuf.
- Oranges poranges, who says,
- oranges poranges, who says,
- oranges poranges, who says?
- there ain't no rhyme for oranges![20]
