how come oranges are named after their colour but apples aren't called reds?
if a fireman is called a fireman because he puts out fire, why is a policeman not called a crimeman cause he stops crime?
Because it's where the colour orange comes from, it's the fruit. .hence the terms red head / hair and Red breasted Robins etc etc, back in the day there was no name for the colour that is what we call orange so as these things match we called them after the name of the fruit.mm true story.
