Six hundred years ago, what we now call "pine cones" were called "pineapples," meaning the fruit of the pine tree. When English people were first exposed to edible pineapples, they called them "pineapples" because pineapples reminded them of pine cones. Later, the term "pine cone" came into widespread use for the reproductive body of the pine tree, and the term "pineapple" was no longer used for that purpose, but the association of the word with the tropical fruit remained in use.
