Арахис - Peanut. Nut - орех. В данном случае, в кулинарном, а не в ботаническом смысле. Peanuts are similar in taste and nutritional profile to "tree nuts" such as walnuts and almonds, and, as a culinary nut, are often served in similar ways in Western cuisines. The botanical definition of a nut is "a fruit whose ovary wall becomes hard at maturity". Using this criterion, the peanut is not a nut. However, peanuts are usually categorized as "nuts" for culinary purposes and in common English more generally. В русском их тоже называют земляным орехом.
