pomelo

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. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) enPR: pŏʹməlō, pŭʹməlō, pəmĕʹlō, IPA(key): /ˈpɒmɪləʊ/, /ˈpʌmɪləʊ/, /pəˈmɛləʊ/ (General American) enPR: pŏʹməlō, IPA(key): /ˈpɑməloʊ/ (California) enPR: pəmĕʹlō, IPA(key): /pəˈmɛloʊ/ === Noun === pomelo (plural pomelos or pomeloes) The large fruit of the Citrus maxima (syn.
