Etymology
Măr comes from Latin mālum, meaning apple. Latin itself likely borrowed the word from Greek mēlon, whose own origin is uncertain and not securely traced to a common Indo-European root. Romanian kept the word largely unchanged from its Latin form, unlike French, which replaced it with pomme.
