Further reading: The origin of some words
1. The word “pineapple” developed from the Spanish word “pina”, which means pine cone. When it came to England, “apple” was added to show it is a kind of fruit.
2. The origin of “hamburger” was a hard beef steak called “Hamburg steak”, eaten without bread. Later, people reinvented it and called it “hamburger”.
3. Eggplants used to be smaller and yellow or white. They looked a bit like eggs, which led to the name “eggplant”.
