Etymology

passion +‎ hedelmä; partial calque of English passion fruit. Originally fully calqued as kärsimyshedelmä (literally passion fruit) (kärsimys (passion)), then passiohedelmä. Currently passionhedelmä is taking over due to the English influence, although it might be regarded as a misspelling.
