Best Answer

That the fruit exhibits a grape-like growth pattern is the reason why the grapefruit (Citrus x paradisi) is so called.

Specifically, the grapefruit grows on a tree. The matured fruit hangs for plucking from the side of a branch. But unlike the apple hanging down all by itself on one stem, the grapefruit reminds pluckers and viewers of grapes in its clustered patterning of growth on the tree.
