How did a pineapple get its name?

maybe someone long years ago mix pine tree and apples somewhere and the taste was like the fruit he discovered!!!! je je je je

by its shape n how

because it resembles a pinecone, and there is fruit inside?

Lol..so you did end up posting this..well, I decided to go and find the answer, here is something I found on the net. It is about the first European encounter with this amazing fruit. Christopher Columbus and his crew lowered anchor in a cove off of the island of Guadaloupe. The european sailors, ate, enjoyed and recorded the curious new fruit which had an abrasive, segmented exterior like a pinecone, and a firm interior pulp like an apple. :P
