A watermelon is a large round or oval fruit with green skin and sweet, juicy, usually red flesh filled with seeds.
“Watermelon” is a simple compound of “water” and “melon,” named for its high water content. “Melon” came from Latin and Greek words for a kind of gourd or large fruit.
A watermelon is mostly water—often over 90%—which is why it feels so heavy and refreshing. It has been grown for thousands of years, and seeds have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs.
