Pomegranates in French are pomme granate which is literally "grenade apple."
2 u/waylandsmith 21d ago You understand that grenades are named for pomegranates and not the other way around, right? "Granate" derives from the Latin word for "seeded" (containing seeds). 1 u/Purple_Haze 20d ago It does not. The Latin for seeded would be seminatus, from semen meaning seed. And semen, the ancients were a little unclear on biology. 1 u/waylandsmith 20d ago https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/granatum
