Meaning and background

The story behind Marmalade

Marmalade has a specific food association with sweetened jelly containing pieces of fruit and rind. The dictionary's definition is broader than orange alone, even though orange marmalade is a familiar example. A dog owner may choose the name for a breakfast memory or a visual association, but a particular coat color is not required. The source establishes the culinary word rather than a traditional personal-name etymology.
