Did You Know?
derives from Middle English fructifien and ultimately from the
Latin noun fructus, meaning "fruit." When the word was first used
in English in the 14th century, it literally referred to the actions of
plants that bore fruit; later it was used transitively to refer to the
action of making something fruitful, such as soil. The word also
expanded to encompass a figurative sense of "fruit," and it is now
more frequently used to refer to the giving forth of something in
profit from something else (such as dividends from an
investment). Fructusalso gave us the name of the sugar fructose,
as well as usufruct, which refers to the legal right to enjoy the
fruits or profits of something that belongs to someone else.
