Answer:
It was so-named from the practice of medieval botanists to refer to any unfamiliar fruit on a tree that was thought to resemble the firm, roundish apple in some way by the name apple. If the pinecone used to be called a pineapple, what did they call the pineapple? First, let's take a step back.

Answer:
The origins of those terms stem from the early 1600, when the European explorers of the Americas brought the fruit to Europe, using the word pineapple due to its resemblance to a pine cone from conifer trees.
