Definition
An apricot is a small, soft, orange fruit with a thin skin and a large pit, similar to a small peach.
Etymology
Through French and Spanish from Arabic "al-barqūq," which came from a Greek word related to "precocious" or "early ripening." The name originally highlighted how early the fruit ripens.
Kelly Says
Buried in its history, “apricot” is basically the “early bird” of fruits. The word traveled through several languages and cultures, carrying the idea of ripening early long before it landed on your jam jar.
