grapefruit
English
Etymology
Widely assumed to be a marketing term from grape +? fruit, an allusion to the supposed grapelike clusters of fruit on the tree, early 19th c. Ciardi proposes another theory: one of the pummelo's botanical names is Citrus grandis, meaning "great citrus [fruit]", due to the size of its fruit. A new pummelo variety might first have been called a "greatfruit", and through the process of dissimilation, the word came to be pronounced "grapefruit".
