Grapefruit: Why?

It is neither the size of a grape nor does it taste like a grape. One can only suppose that the tantalizing alliterative qualities of the term "big-ass bitter orange" were rejected by Webster's due to excessive length.

You can't use the word "orange" in the name of a yellow or pink colored fruit. That would make no sense! They ought to be called Softballfruit.

Is an Orange an orange because it is the color orange?

What came first, orange or the orange?
