fruit

/fɹuːt/noun

The part of a plant that holds the seeds, which is often sweet, colorful, and good to eat.

Example sentence

  • She packed some fresh fruit in the children's lunchboxes.

Usually uncountable when generic: 'eat more fruit', not 'fruits', though 'fruits' works for distinct kinds. 'The fruits of your labor' means results earned by effort.
