About
Etymologically, the character 橙 is a phono-semantic compound combining the tree radical 木 with the phonetic element 登, indicating its original association with citrus trees and their fruit. Initially denoting the orange tree specifically, the character's meaning gradually broadened to encompass the fruit itself and subsequently the color orange, a transition driven by the visual characteristics of the ripe citrus, illustrating how its usage evolved from a botanical reference to a more general term for both the object and its distinctive hue.
