A large yellow citrus fruit similar to a lemon, used in Jewish religious ceremonies, especially during Sukkot.
From Hebrew 'etrog,' cognate with Aramaic. The etrog has been cultivated in Middle Eastern regions for thousands of years and holds religious significance in Judaism.
During Sukkot, Jewish families specifically seek out 'etrogim' (plural) that are perfect and unblemished—a single brown spot can disqualify it, making some sell for hundreds of dollars!
