Etymology

From Middle English pinappel (“pinecone”, literally “pine-apple/pine-fruit”), equivalent to pine +? apple. Later applied to the fruit of the pineapple plant due to its resemblance to a pinecone. Compare the Middle Dutch and Dutch p?nappel, the Middle Low German pinappel, the Old High German p?napful, the Middle High German p?naphel, and the early Modern German pinapfel — all in the sense of “pine cone”.
