It is a translation of the longest word in the Greek language. It is a dish mentioned in Aristophanes' comedy, Assemblywomen. It is 171 letters long.

I agree with you. In my opinion, Kidd's fruit can be roughly translated as "Magnet-Magnet fruit". I don't know why that person didn't choose that.

Though I'm not sure if the series itself always follows those rules. Even though it was Viz and FUNi, I thought "Quake-Quake" would have been much better than "Tremor-Tremor", and "Revive-Revive" doesn't sound as good to me as "Live-Live".

But I'm just rambling.
