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