It was actually referred to as other words (ġeolurēad which means "yellow-red", or saffron for the specific orange yellow of saffron) but mostly as yellow-red before the orange (fruit) was imported and the word Orange was adopted for the color.
Carrots were originally red,purple, and yellow, the orange carrot was bred specifically for the color and appeared around the 17th century.
