It is derived from the word כֶּתֶם (ketem), which has one of its meanings as "gold". In this way, Hebrew differs from many other languages, where there is a connection between the word "orange" and the word for "citrus fruit" (such as the English word "orange" and the fruit of the same name). Even in Arabic, there is a connection between the name of this color, برتقالي (burtuqali), and the word for orange, برتقال (burtuqal). However, in English, in addition to the word "orange", which simply means "orange", there is also the word "marigold", which means "orange-yellow" and contains the word "gold"."
