برتقال

/bur.tu.qaːl/
/bʊrtəqɑːl/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish پورتقال (portokal), or more likely from Greek πορτοκάλι (portokáli). Doublet of الْبُرْتُغَال (al-burtuḡāl, “Portugal”), taken directly from the Portuguese or through a Romance cognate.

The variant بُرْتُقَان (burtuqān) and its derivatives stem from a blend with the Arabic ending ـان (-ān).
