### Etymology

Borrowed from Dravidian; compare Tamil நார்த்தங்காய் (nārttaṅkāy, “citron”) (itself a compound of நரந்தம் (narantam, “fragrance”) and காய் (kāy, “fruit”)), as well as Tamil நாரங்காய் (nāraṅkāy), Telugu నారంగము (nāraṅgamu), Malayalam നാരങ്ങ (nāraṅṅa), Kannada ನಾರಂಗಿ (nāraṅgi). Attested form ca. the 4th century (Sushruta Samhita).
Possibly derived from Proto-Mon-Khmer *lŋaam (“sweet”) (Shorto 2006, #1322, Schuessler, 2007). Compare Proto-Bahnaric: *ʔŋaːm (Sidwell, 2011) and Proto-Khasian: *ŋiam (Sidwell, 2012).
Another alternate source is possible as derived from 'nāga-raṅga-' (coloured like lead-oxide) as seen in Monier Williams and Boehtlingk and Roth Greater Sanskrit Dictionary.
