The bell pepper is called "パプリカ" ("papurika") or "ピーマン" ("piiman", from Portuguese "pimentão") in Japan. In Switzerland, the fruit is mostly called "peperone", which is the Italian name of the fruit. In France, it is called "poivron", with the same root as "poivre" (meaning "pepper") or "piment". In Spain it is called "pimiento", the masculine form of the traditional spice, "pimienta". In South Korea, the word "피망" ("pimang" from the French "piment") refers to green bell peppers, whereas "파프리카" ("papeurika", from "paprika") refers to bell peppers of other colors.
