| h English (en) | ==Etymology== {{Further|History of saffron}} A degree of uncertainty surrounds the origin of the English word ''saffron''. It might stem from the 12th-century [[Old French]] term ''safran'', which comes from the Latin word {{Lang|la|safranum}}, from [[Persian language|Persian]] ({{lang|Fa|زعفران}}, ''za'farān''), ultimately from the Persian word ''zarparān'' ({{nq|زَرپَران}}) 'gold strung' (implying either the golden stamens of the flower or the golden colour it creates when used as flavour). |
