tangerine[tangerine 词源字典]

tangerine: [18] The tangerine was originally exported to Britain, in the 1840s, from the Moroccan port of Tangier, and so it was called the Tangerine orange (Tangerine started life as an adjective meaning ‘of Tangier’: ‘an old Tangerine captain with a wooden leg’, Joseph Addison, Tatler 1710). This was soon shortened to tangerine. It was first used as a colour term at the end of the 19th century.
