The word "apple" comes from Germanic language, that is, the native language of the British, and originally refers to the fruit of any plant, including fruits and nuts. For example, the forbidden fruit in the Bible, English is forbidden fruit apple, and the apple here refers to the fruit, not the apple in particular.

In the word "pineapple", apple means "fruit", so "pineapple" means "pine cone". /kloc-In the middle of the 7th century, the works of the famous Italian traveler Pietro Della Valle spread to Britain. In his book, he mentioned that there is a kind of fruit in the tropics of the New World, which looks like a pineapple.

The tropical fruit mentioned by Waller is actually pineapple. Therefore, in English, people are also called pineapples. In order to avoid confusion, people use another word from Greek when expressing "pinecone", which is called pinecone. So now the word pineapple only means tropical fruit pineapple.
