An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Pomeranze

by Friedrich Kluge

Pomeranze, feminine, ‘orange,’ adopted in the 15th century from the equivalent Middle Latin pomarancia, a compound of Italian pomo, ‘apple,’ and arancia, ‘orange’; the latter word and French orange are usually derived from Arabic nâranǵ, Persian nârenġ, and further from Sanscrit nâranga, ‘orange.’
