Etymology: < Spanish papaya (1535–57, designating the tree, now papayo ; 1780 designating the fruit), probably < Taino papaya , Arawak papaia . Compare Middle French, French papaye (1579 as papaie ), Italian papaia (1565), Portuguese papaia (1596), scientific Latin papaya (1753 in Linnaeus). Compare pawpaw n.In quot. 1598 at sense 1 via Dutch Papaios (1596 in the passage translated; probably < Spanish). F. de Oviedo, Historia general de las Indias (1535), gives papaya as the name in Hispaniola; R. Breton, Dictionaire Caraibe-François (1665) has ababai papaya-tree; F. S. Gilij, Saggio di storia americana (1782) says that some form of papaia is the name among all the peoples of the Orinoco, and that in Otomaco (one of two extinct Venezuelan languages of the Otomacoan family) it is pappai. From America the name was taken with the plant in the 16th cent. to the East Indian archipelago: compare Malay papaya, Tagalog papaya.
