Etymology
From written Chinese 鳳梨 (fènglí).[1][2][3][4]
First attested in Japanese in 1876.[1] Apparently the fruit was first cultivated in Japan in 1830, with records from 1845 of the Dutch importing pineapples via Nagasaki.[5]
The reading is the expected Japanese on'yomi (kan'on) for the Chinese spelling. Compare the modern Cantonese reading fung6 lei4, or Min Nan hōng-lâi.
Pronunciation
Noun
鳳梨 • (hōri)
- [from 1876] (archaic) pineapple, both the fruit and the plant
Usage notes
In modern Japanese, the term パイナップル (painappuru) is much more common.
