Question

Did orange get the name orange because it is orange or did the color orange get named orange because oranges are named oranges and its the color orange... IM SO CONFUSED RN 

Answer 1

Yes. Just yes.

Answer 2

Both. They need a name for the fruit. And a name for the color instead of just calling it “yellow red”

So it was a mix of both, I think.

Answer 3

I think color came first and then when we found the orange we named it what its color was
