orange (fruit)

noun ah-RAHN-chah Rare

Origin: Arabic nāranj, via Spanish naranja

Usage Note

Arancia is feminine: l'arancia. Its irregular plural is le arance (not arancee). The colour 'orange' is arancione (invariable) or arancio — derived from the fruit, just as in English. Do not confuse arancia (the fruit) with aranciata (orange soda).

Examples

"Bevo un succo di arancia ogni mattina."

Natural Translation

I drink an orange juice every morning.
