The word "orange" originates from the Sanskrit word "nāraṅga," which passed through Persian as "nārang" and Arabic as "nāranj." It entered European languages in the Middle Ages, reaching Old French as "orenge" before being adopted into Middle English. Initially, "orange" referred to the fruit before it was used to describe the color, which became common in the 16th century. The color was named after the fruit, as it was one of the first fruits to have that distinctive hue widely recognized in Europe.
