Noun

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

1. (often in the plural) In general, a product of plant growth useful to man or animals.
2. Specifically, a sweet, edible part of a plant that resembles seed-bearing fruit (see next sense), even if it does not develop from a floral ovary; also used in a technically imprecise sense for some sweet or sweetish vegetables, such as the petioles of rhubarb, that resemble a true fruit or are used in cookery as if they were a fruit.
3. (botany) A product of fertilization in a plant, specifically:
   1. The seed-bearing part of a plant, often edible, colourful and fragrant, produced from a floral ovary after fertilization.
   2. The spores of cryptogams and their accessory organs.
4. An end result, effect, or consequence; advantageous or disadvantageous result.
5. (attributive) Of, belonging to, related to, or having fruit or its characteristics; (of living things) producing or consuming fruit.

6. (dated, colloquial, derogatory) A homosexual man; (derogatory, figuratively) an effeminate man. [from 1900]
7. (archaic) Offspring from a sexual union.

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.
