'grape-flavored' originates from the combination of 'grape' and 'flavored', where 'grape' refers to the fruit and 'flavored' means having a particular taste.

The term 'grape-flavored' evolved from the need to describe products that mimic the taste of grapes, especially in the food and beverage industry.

Initially, it meant 'having the taste of grapes', and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
