Definition
"La naranja" refers to the orange fruit, which is a round citrus fruit with a tough bright orange skin and juicy, sweet segments inside. It is commonly eaten fresh or used to make juice and desserts.
Etymology
The word "la naranja" comes from the Arabic word 'nāranj,' which evolved through Old Spanish to become 'naranja.' Interestingly, the initial 'n' was lost over time, a phenomenon called rebracketing, where 'una naranja' was misheard as 'la naranja.'
