pomelo

• pommelo, pummelo, pomelow, pummaloe, pummelow
• (obsolete): pomello, pomolo, pumelo

Of uncertain etymology, though possibly a variant of earlier pampelmoes,[1] from French, Dutch, Portuguese sources ultimately equivalent to "thick lemon"[2] or transcribing the Tamil பம்பளிமாசு (pampaḷimācu, “big citrus”). Alternatively, possibly from pome (“apple”) + melon or some cognate; though such a compound is currently unattested, some early variant spellings seem to show influence from pome.[1]
