In plenty of languages peanuts are also called 'ground nuts' or 'earth nuts'

Ouch, I had to think about what it's in my motherlanguage and it's actually earth nuts (Erdnüsse in German).

If you had asked me how they grow it would have been a 50/50 if I got it wrong.

The english Wikipedia article mentions that it's sometimes called groundnut in english too.
