词源late Middle English (in the sense ‘enjoyment’): via Old French from late Latin fruitio(n-), from frui ‘enjoy’, related to fruges ‘fruits of the earth’, plural (and most common form) of frux, frug- ‘fruit’; the current senses (dating from the late 19th cent.) arose by association with fruit. - After months of hard work, our plans finally came to fruition.
