malic

malic
malic 1797, from Fr. malique (18c.), from L. malum "apple" (the acid, discovered 1785 by Scheele, was obtained from unripe apples and other fruits), from Gk. melon (Doric malon) "apple," probably from a pre-Greek Mediterranean language. The Latin and Greek words also meant "fruit" generally, especially if exotic.
