What does ORANGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A round citrus fruit with a tough, reddish-yellow rind and sweet, juicy flesh; also, the reddish-yellow colour of that fruit.
The orange tree produces fruit divided inside into juicy segments, and the fruit is eaten fresh, squeezed for juice, or used for its peel and zest in cooking. Because the fruit's colour is so recognizable, the same word names the colour itself, sitting on the colour wheel between red and yellow. Unlike most fruit names, orange came to English from the fruit before it was applied to the colour, reversing the more common pattern where a colour word is borrowed to describe a fruit.
How ORANGE is used
Common and neutral; used equally for the fruit and, as an adjective or noun, for the colour between red and yellow.
- She peeled the orange and split it into segments.
- He painted the fence a bright orange.
- The juice from one orange filled half the glass.
- Autumn leaves turned a deep orange before falling.
