pomegranaten.adj. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pome gernate, pomme granade. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pome gernate, pomme gernette (second element also as garnette and de garnetz ) and Middle French pomme granade, pomme grenade, pomme granate (c1165 in Old French as pume grenate ; French †pomme grenade ; now grenade : see grenade n.1), probably < Italian pomogranato , pomo granato (although this is apparently first attested later: 14th cent.; chiefly regional (northern)), either < classical Latin mālum grānātum ( < mālum (see male n.2) + grānātus granate adj.) with substitution of Italian pomo (see pome n.1) for the first element, or directly < classical Latin pōmum grānātum < pōmum pomum n. + grānātus granate adj. (compare also classical Latin grānātum pomegranate). Compare apple-garnade at garnade n.1 1, garnet n.2Compare ( < classical Latin mālum grānātum ) Italian melagranata (a1348), melagrana (end of 13th cent. or earlier) fruit of the pomegranate tree, and also melograno , melagrano (1310 as melo grano , plural), melogranato (a1338 or earlier) pomegranate tree. With Italian pomogranato compare Italian regional (northern) pom granà , Italian †pom graner (a1309 in an apparently isolated use), †poma granata (?a1347). The α. forms and most of the β. forms show metathesis of r , as in Anglo-Norman (compare also Old French pomme guernete (second half of the 13th cent.) and Middle French pomme de Garnade (a1418)). The β. forms probably show assimilation of the final m of the first element to the initial g of the second element (but perhaps compare Middle French ponme de grenade (1378 in an apparently isolated use)), occasionally followed by reanalysis of the first element as pound n.1 or pound v.1 in e.g. pounde garnette . In δ. forms perhaps influenced by balm n.1 and palm n.1, respectively. With poumgrene (see γ. forms) compare Middle French pomme granee (14th cent.), pomme grenue (1538). With forms in -ard (see α, β, and γ forms) compare -ard suffix. The position of the stress is uncertain in the early history of the word. A stress pattern with (primary) stress on -gran- is apparently found from the 16th cent. onwards (probably in quot. 1591 at sense A. 1aγ. ; compare also quots. 1725 at sense A. 1aγ. , 1813 at sense A. 1b, 1851 for pomegranate juice n. at Compounds 1a; still given thus in Webster in 1886). N.E.D. (1907) dates primary stress on the first syllable (ˈpomegranate ) from the late 19th cent. (it is recorded from 1882 in Imperial Dict.). With sense A. 4 compare earlier pomegranate colour n. at Compounds 1a and granate n.2 2. In sense A. 5, originally rhyming slang for immigrant n., probably after Jimmy Grant at Jimmy n.2 1 (see ε. forms). Subsequently, explained by popular etymology as an allusion to the sunburn from which recent immigrants to Australia are likely to suffer. Compare Pom n.2 and slightly later Pommy n. A. n. I.
