• FRUIT

PROPR., fructus (only in the plur.; general term for every kind of fruit, considered as the valuable produce of the fields, gardens, etc.; hence used whenever the peculiar kind is not specified, or need not be specified; Vid: Cic., Off., 2, 4, 12, frugum fructuumque reliquorum perceptio et conservatio, i. e., of the fruits of the earth, or of the field, and the other kinds of fruit; ☞ Cic., Cat., Maj., 7, 24; 19, 17; Caes., B.G., 1, 28: Liv., 2, 5, 45, 13 [campi and agri fructus]. Fructus, however, is especially the produce of trees and gardens): fruges (if taken collectively, denotes fruit as that produce of the earth which serves for the sustenance of mankind; especially, however, and in prose usually, the fruit of the earth; i. e., corn, frumenta, as well as leguminous plants, such as pease, beans, etc., legumina; Vid: Plin., 18, 17, 9; sometimes, however = corn only, the legumina being then mentioned besides; Vid: Cic., N.D., 2, 62, 156, terra feta frugibus et vario leguminum genere; it is found in Cic., as opposed to to baccae arborum; Vid: below. Lastly, the sing., frux, occurs in a collective sense and tropically): segetes (= the fruges, when not yet ripe for the harvest; e.g., laetae sunt segetes; i. e., the crops are very healthy or promising): fetus (the fruit, in the sense of something brought forth, as well of crops in general as of the fruit of a tree): pomum (any fruit of a tree, just as common as “fruit” in English): bacca (any small and round fruit, a berry; it is frequently used by Cic., in the plur., for fruit of a tree, in contradistinction to “fruges terrae;” Vid: Cat., Maj., 2, 5; De Div., 1, 51, 116). To bear fruit, fructum ferre, reddere; more abundantly, uberiores efferre fruges (of land): to bear no fruit, sterilem esse (of land, etc.).
Fruit collectively (ripe garden fruit), poma: baccae arborum (Vid: SYN. above). There is a great deal of fruit, magna est ubertas pomorum (of garden fruit): fruit keeps, poma durant (opposed to poma fugiunt; i. e., does not keep): the fruit falls off, or is ailing off, poma decidunt: to gather fruit, poma legere [Vid: GATHER]: to sell fruit, poma vendere or venditare: a picture representing fruit [Vid: FRUIT-PIECE or PAINTING].
IMPROPR. The good or bad consequences of anything, (α) The good ones, frux: fructus (with this difference, that frux is the produce or good thing itself; fructus, the use or advantage proceeding fin it; Vid: Cic., Coel., 31, 76; Liv., 2, 1; and Cic., Planc., 38, 92; Pis., 24, 57): commoda, orum. utilitas (general terms for advantages, benefit): merces: pretium (wages, reward). The fruits of peace, pacis bona (also fruges sometimes): to bear fruit, fructum ferre, reddere; utilitatem afferre (all figuratively for to afford advantage or gain): to enjoy the fruits of anything, fructum capere or percipere; utilitatem capere ex re; also, fructum alicujus rei capere: to bear golden fruits, bonam frugem ferre (Liv., 2, 1): anything is the fruit of our own industry, *aliquid nostra agendi sollertia effecimus (agendi sollertia, in Cic., Off., 1, 44, 157): he enjoys the fruits of his exertions, laborum suorum fructum capit: anybody will not fail to enjoy the fruits of anything, aliquis alicujus rei fructu non carebit. (β) Evil consequences, mala: incommoda, orum (disadvantages): poena (punishment). You are now reaping these fruits of your guilt, *hanc improbitatis tuae mercedem habes. (γ) Wages, merces. (δ) The fruit of the womb: partus: fetus: procreatio (the last, Vitr., 2, 9, 1). praeseminatio is the embryo (Vitr., 2, 9, 1). To bring forth fruit, partum or fetum edere; fetum eniti; fetum procreare.
