fig
Soft seedy fruit
A fig is a soft, pear-shaped fruit with sweet flesh and many tiny seeds, eaten fresh or dried.
The fig tree that bears it has large lobed leaves—Adam and Eve famously covered themselves with fig leaves, making fig leaf a metaphor for inadequate concealment.
To not give a fig is to not care at all.
In the phrase in full fig, fig means dress or array: The general appeared in full fig.
