Know the meaning of "Rambutan" and "Durian"?



Rambutan, a kind of tropical fruit, is a Malay word. The root word is "rambut" which is "hair", when the suffix "an" is added to the word "rambut", it becomes "rambutan" which literally means "hairy fruit".

Similarly, the word "durian" is derived from the root word "duri" which means "thorn", when the suffix "an" is added to it, it becomes "durian" which means "thorny fruit". It is pretty meaningful, isn't it?
