According to my dictionary, there are two "lime" words. The mineral product
is from a Germanic root, the fruit is from an Arabic root.
As I have previously posted, first European to learn cure of scurvy was
Jacques Cartier, whose whole crew on second voyage developed scurvy about
1550, and was shown cure by an Indian boy he had taken back to France from
virst trip, who showed him tea made from spruce tips was antiscorbutic.Sadly
this was not learned from Cartier's memooirs until modern times.
