Today's Wordle Origin
You're tasting the sweet flavor of "mango"! This tropical fruit makes its delicious entrance from the Portuguese word manga, which was embraced from the Malayalam word maanga (മാങ്ങ) - the name for the fruit in the Dravidian language spoken in Kerala, India. Portuguese traders came into contact with the fruit during their Asian trade ventures in the 15th-16th centuries, and after becoming enamored with the fruit, introduced it to Europe and beyond.
