Origin and Evolution of fruit

First Known Use: 1250 year
Language of Origin: Latin
Story behind the word: The word 'fruit' originated from the Latin word 'fructus', which means 'enjoyment, produce, or profit'.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'fruit' has evolved to refer specifically to the edible reproductive body of a seed plant, typically sweet and fleshy, rather than just any produce or profit as in its original Latin meaning.
