1º_ Fruit such as pear or apple. From Latin pomum, i ("tree fruit"). 2º_ By similarity with the previous one, handle or handle for doors or drawers, especially if it has a rounded shape. By extension any handle or handle. 3º_ Also associated with the shape we have meanings for the round fixation of the blade of the sword to the hilt, or spherical jars with neck, similar to a pear used to contain cosmetics. See flask . 4º_ Precisely from the previous meaning comes another for flexible containers with an elongated shape, because they were also used for creams or pastes for cosmetic or pharmaceutical use, although later they were associated by this other form to any cylindrical container, such as the "water knobs" to play in carnival.
