The citron (Citrus medica), historically cedrate, is a large fragrant citrus fruit with a thick rind.  It is said to resemble a 'huge, rough lemon'.  It is one of the original citrus fruits from which all other citrus types developed through natural hybrid speciation or artificial hybridization.  Though citron cultivars take on a wide variety of physical forms, they are all closely related genetically.  It is used in Asian cuisine, traditional medicines, perfume, and religious rituals and offerings.  Hybrids of citrons with other citrus are commercially more prominent, notably lemons and many limes.  Thank you, Muse reader!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron

The name “Argentina” comes from Italian roots meaning ‘silver-colored’ or ‘of silver’.  The name was given by early Venetian and Genoese explorers as the area was associated with the legend of the Silver Mountain.  During the Spanish colonial period and after its independence, the country was called the ‘United Provinces of Rio de la Plata (the Silver River)’.  ‘Plata’ is the Spanish word for silver.  Still, the name ‘The Argentine’ was commonly used for the country. The constitution of 1853 formalized the name “Argentine Confederation”.  https://thediplomaticinsight.com/argentina-the-land-of-silver/#:~:text=During%20the%20Spanish%20colonial%20period,commonly%20used%20for%20the%20country.
