Excerpt from Experiments on the Spoilage of Tomato Ketchup
The name Lycopersicum is from two Greek words, meaning a Wolf, and a peach, the application of these terms not being apparent; the name of the species, esculentum, is from the Latin, meaning eatable. The common name tomato is of South or Central American origin, and is believed to be the term used in an ancient American dialect to designate the plant,6 but its meaning is unknown. The English call the tomato love apple, which in French is pomme d'amour.
The tomato is considered a typical berry, the ovary wall, free from the calyx, forming the fleshy pericarp, which incloses chambers filled with a clear matrix containing the seeds. The fruit measures from 1 to 5 inches in diameter, and is red, pink, or yellow when mature.
