Definitions and meaning of fruit

fruit

Etymology

From Middle English fruyt, frut (fruits and vegetables), from Old French fruit (produce, fruits and vegetables), from Latin frūctus (enjoyment, proceeds, profits, produce, income) and frūx (crop, produce, fruit) (compare Latin fruor (have the benefit of, to use, to enjoy)), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰruHg- (to make use of, to have enjoyment of). Cognate with English brook (to bear, tolerate) and German brauchen (to need). Displaced native Old English wæstm.

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) enPR: fro͞ot, IPA(key): /fɹuːt/
  • (General American) IPA(key): /fɹut/

Noun

fruit (countable and uncountable, plural fruits) (see Usage notes for discussion of plural)

  1. (botany) A product of fertilization in a plant, specifically:
    1. The seed-bearing part of a plant; often edible, colourful, fragrant, and sweet or sour; produced from a floral ovary after fertilization.
    2. The spores of cryptogams and their accessory organs.
  2. Any sweet or sour, edible part of a plant that resembles seed-bearing fruit (see former sense) even if it does not develop from a floral ovary.
    1. A sweet or sweetish vegetable, such as the petioles of rhubarb, that resembles a true fruit or is used in cookery as if it was a fruit.
  3. An end result, effect, or consequence; advantageous or disadvantageous result.
  4. (attributive) Of, belonging to, related to, or having fruit or its characteristics; (of living things) producing or consuming fruit.

Usage notes

  • In the botanical and figurative senses, fruit is usually treated as uncountable:
    a bowl of fruit; eat plenty of fruit; the tree provides fruit.
  • fruits is also sometimes used as the plural in the botanical sense:
    berries, achenes, and nuts are all fruits; the fruits of this plant split into two parts.
  • When fruit is treated as uncountable in the botanical sense, a piece of fruit is often used as a singulative.
  • In senses other than the botanical or figurative ones derived from the botanical sense, the plural is fruits.
  • The culinary sense often does not cover true fruits that are savoury or used chiefly in savoury foods, such as tomatoes and peas. These are normally described simply as vegetables.
