源自 波斯语 lomôn

<注释>Although we know neither where the lemon was first grownnor when it first came to Europe,we do know from its name alone that it came to us from the Middle East,because we can trace its etymological path.One of the earliest if not the earliest occurrences of our word is found in a Middle English customs document of 420-42.The Middle English word, which was of the formlimon, goes back to Old Frenchlimon, showing that yet another delicacy passed into England through France.The Old French word probably came from Italianlimone, another step on the route that leads back to the Arabic wordlaymôn or lomôn, which comes from the Persian wordlomôn.
虽然我们既不知道柠檬是在哪儿被最早种植的,也不知道它是什么时候传到欧洲的,但是我们却能单从它的名字确切地判断出它是从中东地区传到我们的,因为我们可以追溯出它的语源的发展道路。如果不是最早出现的话,最早的发现记录于420年至42年之间的一份中古英语海关文件中。这个中古英语单词的形式是limon , 可以追溯到古代法语中的limon 一词, 它表明又一种美味佳肴由法国传入了英国。这个古代法语单词很可能来源于意大利单词limone , 这就更朝前一步地回到了阿拉伯语中的laymunlimun , 这一单词来源于波斯语limun
