One of my kids, who shall remain nameless but is probably not my daughter, has mislaid our Encarta CD. I tried several 'net sources with no luck, and finally decided to try the Bookshelf CD that came with our computer.

AND...it says that pineapple came from Middle English
pinappel (pine cone). Columbus introduced it to Europe in 1793.
Bookshelf also informed me that apple comes from Middle
English appel, which comes from Old English aeppel.
