The fruit of the , about the size of an orange with a thick, hard, reddish skin enclosing many seeds, each with an edible pink or red pulp tasting both sweet and tart.

Origin: The is derived from , pome-garnete, pome garnate, pome granat, pome-granate, from , pomme gernette, , pomme granate, pomme grenade, and , pome grenate, pomme grenate (modern ), probably from , pomo granato (though apparently first attested later), and then either: * from + , pomegranate; or * directly from , pōmum grānātum, from + grānātum. Pōmum is possibly ultimately derived from (in the sense of being picked off a plant), from *h₂epó + *h₁em-; while grānātum is derived from grānātus, from grānum (possibly ultimately from + *-nós) + -ātus. The is derived from the noun. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
