Re:Color or Fruit? On the Unlikely Etymology of “Orange” (2018)
on Thursday January 21, 2021 @08:02AM (#25858374)
From the article:
"There are lots of references to the House of Orange, which still today is officially part of the name of the royal family of the Netherlands (Orange-Nassau); but this use of “Orange” comes neither from the color nor the fruit. It takes its name from a region in southeastern France still known as “Orange.”"

Next week's episode: allegations the US considered forcible removal of Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy by kidnapping or poison, while the US defense maintains the extradition is not politically motivated at all.

Interesting. Could you give an example of rephrasing and being tricky/evasive?
