fruiterers

Sellers of apples

Fruiterers is the plural of fruiterer, a British term for someone who sells fruit, typically from a shop or market stall.

The word sounds old-fashioned even in British English, where greengrocer has largely replaced it: The fruiterers at Borough Market arrive before dawn.
