morango

• amorango, morengo

Uncertain. Perhaps from Vulgar Latin *moranicum, from Latin morum (“mulberry”), or from amora (“bramble; blackberry”) +‎ -ango, but given the related forms amorodo, morogo, morote and the cognates, Portuguese morango and Asturian miruéndanu, then probably from a substrate language *morotanu.^[1]

Uncertain. Either from Vulgar Latin *moranicum, from Latin morum (“mulberry”) or from amora (“bramble; blackberry”) +‎ -ango. Compare Galician amorodo, amorogo (“strawberry”). Displaced Latin fragum, which, if it followed the same development in other romance language, probably would have yielded either *fraga or *freisa.
