What does FRUIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The fleshy, seed-bearing part of a plant that develops from a flowered ovary, such as an apple, orange, or grape.
Fruit forms the botanical answer to how flowering plants spread their offspring: after pollination, the ovary swells around the developing seeds and often turns sweet and colourful so that animals eat it and scatter the seeds elsewhere. In everyday speech people use fruit more loosely than botanists do, so tomatoes and cucumbers count as fruit in a garden even though cooks treat them as vegetables. Beyond the plant itself, fruit also names the outcome of effort, as when careful planning finally produces a result worth having.
How FRUIT is used
Common in everyday speech both for edible produce and, more figuratively, for the positive result of work or planning.
- She washed the fruit before slicing it into the salad.
- The market stall sold fresh fruit every morning.
- Years of careful research finally bore fruit.
- Children picked ripe fruit straight from the tree.
- A bowl of fruit sat on the kitchen table.
