Actually we have the Spanish to blame for this, since they named it upon discovery in the West Indies, for its resemblance to pine cones. The English, also being heavily involved in the Carribean, used the word too, so as to minimize confusion in Carribean trade.The fact that the English language calls it a Pineapple is the dumbest idea ever, pretty much every other language calls it something along the lines of ananas.
Meanwhile samples brought to Europe were classified by the scientists on the continent as Ananas comosus. Interestingly, and kind of rare of an occurrence it was, the scientific name caught on and spread into common usage. Meanwhile the British and Spanish persisted in the use of the lay men's field name.
The Spanish language still uses pinyã today, interchangeably with annana. Frequent use: Pinyã Colada.
EDIT: Oops, was distracted on phone call with the boss. Should be Piña.
