Alexander Koryagin: AK> Apelsin fruit (orange fruit) came from Holland -- in AK> Russia they thought it was an apple, and they called it AK> by the Holland word "appel". Let me dare a conjecture (without consulting the all-knowing DuckDuckGo) that appelsin means not merely an apple, but rather a Chinese apple, even as `pomodoro' means a golden apple. AK> In this way we had got the word "apelsin" and AK> "apelsinovy cvet(color)" (which, however, is more AK> yellowish than orange color, in Russia). Now you are teaching me Russian. I never knew the distinction existed. How did you learn about it, and whence? --- * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0) |
