    For the lazy:

    “A source of confusion is that ‘citron’ in French and English are false friends, as the French word ‘citron’ refers to what in English is a lemon; whereas the French word for the citron is ‘cédrat’.

    Other languages that use variants of citron to refer to the lemon include Armenian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Esperanto, Polish and the Scandinavian languages.[citation needed]”
