marmeláda
Czech edit
Etymology edit
Borrowed from German Marmelade or French marmelade, from Portuguese marmelada (“quince jam”), from marmelo (“quince”), from Latin melimēlum, from Ancient Greek μελίμηλον (melímēlon), from μέλι (méli, “honey”) + μῆλον (mêlon, “apple”).[1][2]
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit

Usage notes edit
- Although after the Czech Republic's becoming a member of the European Union it is legally required that only marmalade is labelled by the word marmeláda in trade, in common speech the word refers to jam made of any kind of fruit.
