   AK> Apelsin  fruit  (orange  fruit)  came from Holland -- in   
   AK> Russia they thought it was an apple, and they called  it   
   AK> by the Holland word "appel".   
      
   Let me dare a conjecture (without consulting the all-knowing   
   DuckDuckGo) that appelsin means not  merely  an  apple,  but   
   rather  a  Chinese  apple, even as `pomodoro' means a golden   
   apple.   
      
   AK> In  this  way  we  had  got  the  word   "apelsin"   and   
   AK> "apelsinovy   cvet(color)"   (which,  however,  is  more   
   AK> yellowish than orange color, in Russia).   
      
   Now  you  are  teaching  me  Russian.   I  never  knew   the   
   distinction  existed.   How  did  you  learn  about  it, and   
   whence?
