Etymology: "Mineolas" is the plural of "mineola," the name of a hybrid citrus fruit, a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. Because the plural is the form that appears most often in shops and recipes, it is the one most people encounter first. The singular "mineola" is the form that names the fruit itself, and the plural simply follows the usual English pattern of adding "-s" to a count noun.
