"melo" meaning in Latin

See melo in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Attested since about late 4th century CE, since Palladius and author(s) of Historia Augusta. Seems to be a colloquial shortening of mēlopepō, from Ancient Greek μηλοπέπων (mēlopépōn, “melon”), probably with influence from μῆλον (mêlon, “apple”).
