a satsuma tree, a mikan tree: a particular variety of mandarin orange, Citrus unshiu (fruit) · a satsuma (fruit), a mikan: a particular variety of mandarin orange, Citrus unshiu (fruit) · citrus fruit in general
köken: Probably from Middle Chinese 蜜柑 (MC mjit kam, literally “honey + citrus”). Compare modern Mandarin reading mìgān. Obsolete reading.
köken: From French mandarine + -ka, from Portuguese mandarim, from Malay menteri, manteri, from Hindi मन्त्रि (mantri), from Sanskrit मन्त्रिन् (mantrin), from मन्त्र (mantra) + -इन् (-in). Doublet of mandaryn.
tangerine, mandarin orange (small citrus tree, Citrus reticulata, with a fruit resembling the orange; also, the fruit of this tree) · mandarin (a high government official of the old Chinese Empire)
çekim: çoğul mandarīni · tamlayan mandarīna
köken: Perhaps via other European languages, ultimately borrowed from Dutch mandarijn or from Portuguese mandarim, both borrowings from Malay menteri, manteri, from Sanskrit मन्त्रिन् (mantrin, “minister, councillor”), from मन्त्र (mantra, “counsel, maxim, mantra”) and -इन् (-in, “an agent suffix”). The fruit meaning (“tangerine”) apparently derives from the yellow collor of a mandarin's costume.
