Étymologie (Anglais)

Univerbation of pomo (“apple”) + d' (“of”) + oro (“gold”), literally “golden apple”. Possibly owing to the fact that the first varieties of tomatoes arriving in Europe and spreading from Spain to Italy and North Africa were yellow. Earliest attestation (of the archaic plural form pomi d'oro) goes back to Matthiolus (1544).
A red strain was later developed in Moorish Africa, which came to be known in Italy as pomo dei mori (“apple of the Moors”).
