Conifer

/ˈkoʊnəfər/ noun

A tree or shrub that bears cones and typically has needle-like or scale-like leaves. The name literally means 'cone-bearing' tree.

From Latin 'conus' (cone, from Greek 'konos') + 'ferre' (to bear, carry - Latin form of Greek 'pherein'), meaning 'cone-bearing.' The Latin 'ferre' is cognate with Greek 'pherein.' The term was coined in botanical Latin and entered English in the 19th century.
