Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Middle English 'pomegranate', from Old French 'pome garnete', meaning 'seeded apple' (from Latin 'pōmum' meaning apple and 'grānātus' meaning grained or having many seeds). The military term 'grenade' shares this etymological root due to the physical similarity of the fruit packed with seeds to a spherical explosive packed with shrapnel.
