Question

Did the fruit orange, or did the color come first?????????????????????????????????????????

Answer 1

Good question, I think the color came first this is just an opinion. You don't have to take my advice or opinions cuz I may be wrong.

Answer 2

The citrus definitely got named first. The earliest recorded use of orange the fruit in English is from the 1300's and came to us from the old french orenge adapted from the Arabic naranj, from the Persian narang, from the Sanskrit naranga meaning (orange tree). 

Hope this helped
