Today's word

pomology \pō-ˈmä-lə-jē\ - the science and practice of growing fruit
Got this one correct in today's Dictionary Devil puzzle based on the roots, but partly assumed that the "pom" was a shared root with "pomegranate." I'm not convinced that isn't the case, even though the specific fruit's name came from French origins as opposed to being directly from Latin.
