Etymology

The word pineapple comes from the Spanish word 'piรฑa,' which means 'pine cone.' This term was first used in the 16th century to describe the fruit due to its resemblance to a pine cone. The plant itself, Ananas comosus, is native to South America and was cultivated by indigenous peoples long before the arrival of Europeans. The fruit was named by early European explorers who found it in the regions of the tropics. Over time, the fruit became widely propagated in tropical regions around the world, especially in Hawaii, which became known for mass production. Today, it is a significant crop in many countries, both for domestic consumption and export.
