Etymology
Borrowed from de nl pompelmoes. Further origin uncertain, but the first two syllables are probably—either originally or by secondary association—the dated Dutch noun nl pompel something squat or plump, to which compare de pummelig. Formerly, the form de Pompelmuse was also used; the -a- may be due to influence by de fr pamplemousse, also from the Dutch.
