Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French orenge, orange.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French orenge (c1393 in Middle French; earlier in Anglo-Norman in the phrase pume orenge (c1200), 1314 in Old French in the phrase pomme d'orenge: see note below), Middle French, French orange (1515 as noun in a translation from Italian (itself translating a Portuguese source), 1553 as adjective), ultimately (probably, in spite of the chronology, via Italian arancio (c1309), arancia (a1336; also as †narancia (1598 in Florio)); Italian regional (Venice) naranza, Italian regional (Reggio Emilia) naranz, Italian regional (Milan) narans) < Arabic nāranj < Persian nārang < Sanskrit nāraṅga < a Dravidian language: compare Tamil nāram, Tulu nāreṅgi. Compare also Persian nār < anār pomegranate. Compare Spanish naranja (late 14th cent.), Portuguese laranja (1377), Old Occitan arange (c1373), irange (1390), medieval Greek νεράντζιον.In Anglo-Norman pume orenge and Old French pomme d'orenge , probably after Italian melarancio (although this is first attested later: 14th cent.) < mela apple (see mele n.1) + arancio orange tree, orange (see above); compare post-classical Latin pomum arantiae (1297), Italian pomerancia , and German Pomeranze (15th cent.; < Italian), and compare also Older Scots appil orange (see Dict. Older Sc. Tongue s.v.) and Dutch oranjeappel . Initial o- in the Anglo-Norman and Old French forms is probably after the form of the place name Orange (see Orange n.2; compare forms in d' ), perhaps also influenced by Anglo-Norman and Old French or gold (see or n.1), with reference to the colour. Similarly, post-classical Latin has aurantia (1609, 1626 in British sources; compare later aurantia n.), by association with classical Latin aurum gold (see auro- comb. form), beside arangia (Sicily, 12th cent.), arancia (15th cent.), arantia (16th cent.). The loss of initial n- in French and Italian probably results from absorption of the n- when preceded by the indefinite article, although in some cases such forms may reflect loss of n- already in Arabic. Conversely, the 19th-cent. Scots form nirrange shows attraction of the -n of the indefinite article by metanalysis (see N n.). The native home of the orange may have been south-east Asia, and the name may have originated there. In the Middle Ages the bitter (or Seville) orange was brought by the Arabs to Sicily, from where it spread to the rest of Europe. The sweet (or China) orange was brought from China by the Portuguese in the 16th cent. The designations for certain varieties of pear (see senses A. 1b, Compounds 1c , ) are attested earlier in French than in English: with winter orange (in quot. 1800 at sense A. 1b) compare French orange d'hiver (1690); with orange musk and orange pear at Compounds 1c compare French orange musquée (1690) and poire d'orange (1603) respectively. Compare the following surnames, which may reflect the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word (or perhaps even the place name Orange n.2, in Old French Orenge): Sibel Orenge (1296), Ricardo Orenge (1296–7), Galfridus Orenge (1310).

Orangen.2adj.2

Brit. /ˈɒrᵻn(d)ʒ/, U.S. /ˈɔr(ə)ndʒ/, /ˈɑr(ə)ndʒ/
Forms: 1500s Orenge, 1500s– Orange, 1600s Aurange.
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Orange.
Etymology: < Orange the name of a town in Provence in southern France, formerly the capital of a medieval principality of the same name (see note at sense A.).Use in sense B. 2 arises from the title of William of Orange (see note at sense A.), commemorated by Irish Protestants for defeating the Catholic former King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The accidental coincidence of the appellation with the name of the colour (orange n.1) made the wearing of orange ribbons, scarfs, cockades, orange-lilies, etc., a symbol of attachment to William III, and to the principles of the Protestant settlement of William in 1689, and led ultimately to their use by the Orange lodges and Orangemen. The exact origin of sense B. 2 is somewhat obscure, but it is supposed that ‘the two Copes’ mentioned in quot. 1795 at sense B. 2a were members of a celebrated lodge of Freemasons then existing in Belfast, called ‘The Orange Lodge’ (itself probably so called in honour of William III; see Orange Lodge n. 1), and that thence their adherents were known as ‘Orange boys’ and ‘Orangemen’, and the political society as ‘The Orange Society’ and later ‘The Orange Order’ (see further Orange Order n.).
A. n.2
A title held by the House of Nassau, and hence by the royal line of the Netherlands; (a title given to) a member of the Dutch royal dynasty.The principality of Orange was acquired in 1544 by the younger branch of the House of Nassau, which founded the dynasty of stadtholders in the Netherlands. The title of Orange was retained after the principality itself was returned to France in 1713.In British history, ‘William of Orange’ is a title given to William III (1650–1702), Prince of Orange and King of England.
