    I just came across the snob entry in John Ayto’s “Words Origin – The Hidden Histories of English Words from A to Z”, which I quote here in extenso, just for the record although there are several valuable answers already.

    What does snob mean in Thai root? What is considered the “member of the lower orders” by Cambridge students of the late 18th century?

    What ‘ostentatiously vulgar’ person or woman would be used in here?

    It has since broadened out to include those who insist on our gentility as well as those who aspire to it.

    How was the word snob originated? An ingenious suggestion once put forward is that it came from S. Nob. The Latin word is spoken’sin nobility’, supposedly to be an abbreviation of Latin. The word was named in Arabic: ;.

    What does it mean for you to be a Muslim?

    To support the explanation offered by Philoto invoking the intuitiveness of deriving the colour name from fruit name one can only notice that the phenomenon is a widespread one, observed in many languages and suffering only a few notable albeit easy to understand exceptions.

    Take a tour of the variety of fruits. The fruits are all different, with very different colors.

    1. The first family is the Anglo French Orange and all its cognates
      • Italian arancia (fruit) => => arancione (colour).
      • Spanish naranja (fruit) => => naranja (colour).
      • laranja => => Portuguese Laranja (fruit) (color).
    2. In Europe, the sweet orange was first grown in Portugal in the 15th century. It has a different name (for example Portocu00e2li or fruit) all around the
      • mediteranean: Greek “portocu00e2li” => (fruit)=> (colour).
      • Rumanian portocală (fruit) => => portocaliu (colour), respectively.
      • When some arabics make, burtuql (or the persian, nran, is only used for the bitter varety). What’s the best way to make, burtuql? (the Arabic has the same word as for the sweet orange)? The colour name is identical burtuql.
      • Napolitan: purtuall 2… Napolitan:purtuall 2…… Napolitan: purtuall. 0… Napolitan: purtuall 2.. How does Ali Afair color name are identical?
      • Turkish: portakal but the colour is turuncu from Persian Pu00e2renji () => => The bitter variety.
      • Persian: portequ00e2l () (meaning both sweet orange and Portugal) and nu00e2renji () meaning both the colours and the bitter varieties.
    3. In Chinese, the colour is named after the fruit ( chu00e9ng, or chu00e9ngzi ) as well.

    Exceptions

    1. Some notable exception is the common case, of many northern countries, in which the fruit has two concurrent names. an older one taken from Old Dutch appelsien 3 now sinaasappel and a newer one taken from English orange. In which case the colour itself is most of the time a cognate of orange.

      • Apfelsine (old) but still present in Apfelsinensaft ‘orange juice’. Is Now Orange true? Orange Danish/Norwegian:
      • appelsin for the fruit, orange/oransje for the colour Icelandic:
      • Appelsin, colour appelsnugulur orange-yellow.
      • To the east: Russian and even Mongolian : аеu043bсиu043d Color: oраu043dев.
    2. In Dominican Republic, the orange colour is called ” mamey ” after the local fruit named Mammee. Do the islands have dark brown skin? The Mammey instead of blue. QED.


    Note 1
    German Wikipedia,
    Wu00e4hrend die Bitterorange spu00e4testens im 11. September, 9. September. Jahrhundert nach Italien geboren, wurde die “Su00fcu00dfe” Variante erst im 15. Jahrhundert in Italien gebracht. Jahrhundert nach Europa eingefu00fchrt, wo sie zunu00e4chst fast ausschlieu00dflich in Portugal angebaut wurde.

    With a history of about 700 000 years, the bitter variety was already known in Greece, but the sweet variety was not introduced into Europe until the 15th Century, where it was grown almost exclusively in Portugal.

    Note 2
    The first Napolitan word comes from French “Pour Toi”, but that’s folk etymology Note 3 appelsien

    = Chinese
    apple. In germany, the original sin appears along with the snake in an orange tree which has been strung in a spiral, yet there is no relationship with the original sin.
