Inherited from Middle English orenge orange Old French pome orenge ( “ fruit orange ” ) , influenced by the place name Orange Old Occitan auranja Old Italian melarancio melarancia mela ( “ apple ” ) and un 'arancia ( “ an orange ” ) , from Arabic نَارَنْج ( nāranj ) , from Early Classical Persian نَارَنْگْ ( nārang ) , from Sanskrit नारङ्ग ( nāraṅga , “ orange tree ” ) ,[ 1] Dravidian Tamil நாரங்காய் ( nāraṅkāy ) , compound of நாரம் ( nāram , “ water ” ) and காய் ( kāy , “ fruit ” ) ; also Telugu నారంగము, నారింజ ( nāraṅgamu, nāriñja ) , Malayalam നാരങ്ങ ( nāraṅṅa ) , Kannada ನಾರಂಗಿ ( nāraṅgi ) ). Doublet of aranzada
Originally borrowed as the surname (derived from the place name) in the 13th century, before the sense of the fruit was imported in the late 14th century and the colour in 1510.[ 1] ġeolurēad yellow-red

Usage notes
The adjective has two sets of forms. In the formal standard language, endings are added directly to the stem (orang- ). In less formal style and in the vernacular, another set of forms is used in free variation, in which an -n- is infixed before the endings.
It is also officially correct to leave the adjective entirely undeclined. This usage is rare, however, and seems dated.
