the history of the word pomegranate is a bit interesting - the pome part is from the old french for "apple", but the granate part is both from the latin for "seed" and also from "garnet" which is not the gem but another word for the fruit itself
which all leads us to "grenade", which is also french for pomegranate (the french have a pomegranate syrup called grenadine)
and this means that a grenade, as in the hand-held explosive, could legitimately be called a bombegranate
