Fruit
Etymology
(1125–75) Middle English fruit 'fruits and vegetables'
from Old French fruit from Latin fructus 'enjoyment,
proceeds, profits, produce, income', a derivative of
Latin frui 'to have the benefit of, to use, to enjoy'
from Proto-Indo-European *bhrug- ('to make use of, to have
enjoyment of') (wiki- but see also this
on fruit).
so
perhaps: 'Fructography' (?)
Pomum:
Use of 'pomade' in English is derived from French,
pommade, meaning 'an ointment', itself arising from
Latin pomum ('fruit, apple') via Italian pomata
from pomo, meaning 'apple', because the original
ointment recipe contained mashed apples.
