Fun fact: the Arabic word for the orange fruit "burtuqan" (Egyptian Arabic)/burtuqala (standard Arabic) is literally the Arabic word for "Portugal"
This is b/c when the Moors colonized Iberia, they used Portugal as a cultivator of oranges and shipped them across Europe & the Middle East

That's such an interesting fact! I would have never guessed that the Arabic word for "Portugal" had anything to do with the orange fruit. But now it makes sense, though I wonder if anyone has ever tried to explain to someone that oranges are called "Portugals" in Arabic and caused some confusion huh. Anyway, a joke related to history: What do you call an alligator in a vest? An investigator ;)

I read the other day that the word slave comes from Slav, Eastern Europeans, due the vast quantities of Slavic slaves traded in the past. Fascinating how languages evolve and influence each other.
Also ciao from Venetian language means slave. It's a way of saying "at your disposal" the salute way of using this word
The word "peach" means "Persian (fruit/apple)", and variations of it are the common Latin word for it (well, "peach" is a variation of it really).
