    What Spanish word can either mean a pine cone, a pine-apple or the heart of an agave?

    Question #108448. Asked by flem-ish. (Sep 02 09 9:56 AM)

    		Piña.

    Diccionario Espasa concise inglés-español © 2000 Espasa Calpe:
    piña sustantivo feminino
    1 (fruto tropical) pineapple
    2 (de pino) pine cone
    3 fam (grupo) clan, group
    formar una piña, to rally round, stick together
    http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=pi%C3%B1a&v=js

    For the agave bit,
    "La parte aprovechable para la elaboración del tequila es la piña o cabeza."
    http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave

    My translation: The part useful for making tequila is the pineapple or head.

    Why is the tropical fruit pineapple so named, as pine is not a tropical plant, nor does a pineapple tree resemble a pine tree?

    Why is it called pineapple when there is neither pine nor apple in it?

    The Spanish word for "Spanish" is Español. The French word for "French" is Français. Is there a list of these types of words anywhere on the internet?
