"Cide" means "kill". So why did they start calling it "cider"?

A lot of people wonder where the name "Apple Computer" came from, as it is a rather unusal name for a computer company. "Steve Jobs came up with the name in early 1976. At the time, he was often visiting and working on a small farm friends of his owned. It was a hippie commune where Steve spent a few months of the year. When he returned from one of those stays, he told Steve Wozniak about his idea. Jobs probably was working on apple plantages. Or he just wanted their startup to be in front of Atari in the phone book. Or it was a tribute to Apple Records, the music label of the Beatles."

Maybe because they kill apples to make it would be the obvious answer.
My guess though would be that "cider" does not come from the root word "cide"
