Root Explanation

Fruitage → It is formed from "fruit" (from Old French *fruit*, meaning the product of plants) and "-age" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating a state or condition). The word "fruitage" refers to the state or condition of bearing fruit or the yield of fruit from plants.

Memory Tip

Think of the word 'fruit' as the product of plants, and the '-age' suffix indicating a state or condition — so 'fruitage' means the state of bearing fruit.
