ACKEE and HACKEE

An ACKEE (also spelled AKEE) is a:

  1. a sapindaceous tree, Blighia sapida, native to tropical Africa and cultivated in the Caribbean for its fruit, edible when cooked
  2. the red pear-shaped fruit of this tree
 
 If you add an H to the beginning of it, you get HACKEE. Unlike ACKEe, HACKEE is not to be found at www.dictionary.com

Searching generally on the web, a HACKEE is someone who has been hacked, as opposed to a HACKER, who does the hacking.
