Pomme (apple) was originally a word designated to mean "basically any fruit", but became synonymous with apples as they were, by far, the most common fruit in france, as well as many other parts of europe, and thus the meaning of 'Pomme' evolved to refer soley to apples. While the literal meaning of the term 'Pomme de Terre' would be "an apple from the earth", it would have originally been the equivilent of saying "a fruit from the earth" or "ground fruit".
The origin of this word (and many others, including Apple, and Pomo, which would be the italian word for it), came from the Latin word Pomus, which essentially also mean just a generic fruit. It's the same reason why Italians would call a tomato a 'pomodoro', despite that translating to "golden apple"
