Citrus [SEP] Etymology
The generic name originated from Latin, where it referred to either the plant now known as citron ("C. medica") or a conifer tree ("Thuja"). It is related to the ancient Greek word for cedar, κέδρος ("kédros"). This may be due to perceived similarities in the smell of citrus leaves and fruit with that of cedar. Collectively, "Citrus" fruits and plants are also known by the Romance loanword "agrumes" (literally "sour fruits").
