peer agreement (net): +4green fruit mostly green almond and apricot Explanation: According to Dehkhoda, چاغاله/چغاله means "green fruit", and it is most commonly applied to green almond and apricot. چاغاله . چغاله . بادام با پوست سبز نارس ، اَخکوک ، بعضی میوه های سبز و نارس ، چون بادام و زردآلو و شفتالو ولی بیشتر در بادام گفته میشود و گاه کلمه بادام را نیز بر آن افزایند و «چاقاله بادام » گویند http://www.loghatnaameh.com/dehkhodaworddetail-d32a0ae9a7634... With regard to the etymology of this word, احسان طیری (http://aryaadib.blogfa.com/post-44.aspx) believes that the suffix "غاله' in such words as: داسغاله: small sickle بزغاله: kid (young goat) چغاله; green (young) fruit, and the like is a diminutive suffix. If so, a calque translation of "چاغاله" must be "young/green fruit". It is interesting to mention that چاغاله is sometimes humorously applied to young inexperienced people. Example: - چاغاله مجتهد ؛ بمزاح ، مجتهدی جوان . |
