Coconut. Is it classified as a seed or fruit?

Hey all. This has popped in my head over the past week. What is a coconut? Everyone seems to have a different opinion whether it's a seed, fruit, or as it says in the name, nut. Anyone have some solid facts/info they could post? I was thinking fruit. Instead of the seed being on the inside it's what surrounds the coco water. I know I could probably google it but I'd rather hear from you guys.

Nut!

I read lately, think it was in David Wolfe's "Eating for Beauty" that it is the largest nut in the world, so yeah, it's a nut!

As called "Coco-nut"!

yeah. i think we were discussing what's a fruit or veggie in the food combination thread as well. someone mentioned that a fruit is any plant that has seed(s) inside. so ugh... nut?
