Nguồn gốc từ

Borrowed from Middle French marmelade, from Portuguese marmelada (quince jam), from marmelo (quince), from Latin melimēlum (sweet apple), from Ancient Greek μελίμηλον, from μέλι (honey) + μῆλον (apple). A false folk etymology claims that this comes from the - phrase “Marie est malade” (“Mary is ill”), referring to Mary, Queen of Scots, falling ill and being given marmalade to feel better.
