If an orange is orange, why isn’t a lime called a green or a lemon called a yellow?--------------
I decided to put in a real fact..as-to why.
Because ..this really made me wanna know why.
Maybe the orange..said that as its first word.lol
The word orange comes from Sanskrit nārangah (orange tree). Other European languages adapted the word – Persian nārang, Armenian nārinj, Arabic nāranj, (Spanish naranja and Portuguese laranja), Late Latin arangia, Italian arancia or arancio, and Old French orenge, in chronological order. The first appearance of the word Orange in English is from the 14th century.
Before this was introduced to the English-speaking world, the colour was referred to (in Old English) as geoluhread, which translates into Modern English as yellow-red.
The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in 1512, in the court of King Henry VIII.
The name of the colour is derived from the fruit, first appearing in this sense in 1542.

Army as the Gondra Queen!
