英语词汇shaddock的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

shaddock. The ancestor of the grapefruit, the shaddock, or pomelo, reached Europe in about the middle of the 12th cen- tury from the Malay archipelago. It was called the Adam’s ap- ple at first and didn’t receive its common name until a Captain Shaddock, a 17th-century English voyager, brought its seed from the East Indies to Barbados, where it was grown exten- sively. The grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is neither a mutation of the thicker-skinned shaddock (C. grandis) nor a cross be- tween the shaddock and sweet orange. It was developed in the West Indies and was given its name because it often grows in clusters like grapes. To further complicate matters, the shad- dock is sometimes called the forbidden fruit and the grape- fruit is called the pomelo in different parts of the world. The pink grapefruit was developed in Florida, as was the seedless variety.
