Fun side note of an article and I especially enjoyed the link to Metronomy – but consulting Wiktionary which in case of complex etymologies is authoritative, shows us that Persian portogal comes from Ottoman Turkish portokal (which itself being an Imperial language of the Early Modern Age has a dozen descendants), which itself comes from Greek portokali (as the Greek were the fruit traders, greengrocers, and fishermen in the Ottoman realm; from these areas more terms entered Turkish and all the languages of the former Ottoman empire), which itself comes from Venetian portogallo (who were the traders with the Greek). The real complexity is often more interesting and makes a bigger story.
