Well, tbh, I did mean at present not originally. Kiwifruit just sounds better (and what idiot dreamed up the idea to call it 'kiwi'?). Some bright soul realized that he did not have to add 'fruit' to the end, as it is obviously a fruit. After all, you don't call it an applefruit or a catanimal. That's because 'cat' and 'apple' mean only one thing, while kiwi means both the animal and the fruit. Other examples of the same suffix are 'breadfruit', 'passionfruit' and 'grapefruit' (grapefruut is a little odd, considering both grapes and grapefruit are fruits).
