ananas
Pineapple in French
Ananas is the word for pineapple in most European languages—French, German, Italian, Spanish, and others.
English speakers occasionally encounter it on menus, in imported products, or in multilingual contexts: The juice box listed ananas among the flavors.
English stands nearly alone in using "pineapple" instead.
