A quick definition of fruit:
FRUIT: Fruit is something that comes from the land or animals, like crops or eggs. It can also mean the income or goods that come from owning property. Sometimes, it can refer to something obtained during an activity or operation, like evidence found during a search.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Fruit refers to the produce or product of something, such as land or property. It can also refer to income or goods derived from property without reducing its inherent value. In civil law, revenue derived from a thing by operation of law or by reason of a juridical act, such as lease or interest payments, or certain corporate distributions is called civil fruit. Natural fruit refers to a product of the land or of animals, such as crops and eggs.
Examples:
- A farmer's fruit includes the crops they grow on their land.
- If you rent out a property, the rent you receive is considered civil fruit.
- The eggs laid by a chicken are an example of natural fruit.
The examples illustrate how fruit can refer to the produce or product of something, whether it is grown on land or produced by animals. In the case of civil fruit, it refers to income or goods derived from property without reducing its inherent value. Natural fruit, on the other hand, refers to products of the land or animals that are not artificially produced.
