Etymology

The word 'fruition' originates from the late Middle Ages, deriving from the Latin term 'fruī', meaning 'to enjoy, to have benefit from'. This Latin root further evolved into the Old French term 'fruition', which carried similar meanings concerning enjoyment and the realization of something. Over the centuries, 'fruition' has not only maintained its connection to enjoyment but has also strongly associated itself with the concept of achieving or bringing to pass something that has been desired. The use of 'fruition' in English has been documented since the 15th century, growing from a more general meaning of enjoyment to its current emphasis on the successful outcome or achievement of goals, processes, or plans.
