from the definition given already:
Resembling a feather; having parts or branches arranged on each side of a common axis: a polyp with a pinnate form; pinnate leaves.

Perhaps pine (not pine cone, pine tree) comes from pinnate, because the leaves branch out from the branch like a feather, the opposite would be like an oak tree, where the branches keep dividing.
