MANGO
What mango means
A tropical fruit with smooth golden or reddish skin, a large flat pit in the center, and sweet orange flesh that is eaten fresh or used in desserts and beverages.
Where the word comes from
The mango came to English through Portuguese, Spanish, and Malay traders in the 16th century. The word traces back through Malay *mangga* to Tamil *man-kay*, literally "man-fruit." As European merchants and colonizers encountered this tropical fruit in India and Southeast Asia, they adopted the local name and spread it across European languages, eventually establishing it in English as the fruit we know today.
