The word plum comes from Prune!
Although prunes are simply dried plums, the word ‘prune’ comes from the Latin word for plum, prunus. According to the earliest writings in which the plum is mentioned, the species is at least 2,000 years old. To complicate matters for non-fluent French speakers, the French call ALL plums prunes! Their word for a dried plum or prune, is pruneau.
