fruit
Plant's sweet output
Fruit is the fleshy, seed-bearing part of a plant, typically sweet and eaten as food: apples, oranges, berries.
Botanically, fruits include tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers—anything that develops from a flower's ovary.
Figuratively, fruit is the product of effort: the fruits of our labor.
As offensive slang, fruit is a derogatory term for a gay man.
To fruit is to produce fruit: The trees fruited early this year.
