Borrowed fromMiddle Frenchmarmelade, fromPortuguesemarmelada(“quince jam”), frommarmelo(“quince”), fromLatinmelimēlum(“sweet apple”), fromAncient Greekμελίμηλον(melímēlon), fromμέλι(méli,“honey”) +μῆλον(mêlon,“apple”). A falsefolk etymology claims that this comes from the French phrase “Marie est malade” (“Mary is ill”), referring toMary, Queen of Scots, falling ill and being given marmalade to feel better.[1]
