- 1開花結果；實現（計畫終於做成）
When a plan, a project, or a long piece of work comes to fruition, it is finally done in the real world: people dreamed it, worked at it, often for a long time, and at last it happens. Speakers almost always put it in come to fruition or bring something to fruition; you rarely meet the word standing alone. It feels careful and a bit formal — news, reports, speeches — not kitchen chat. Though actually, everyone hears fruit in it, and that is how we use it now: a plan that 'bears fruit'. The Latin start was closer to enjoyment, not to apples. Students will meet the 'finished after a long wait' sense, not the old 'enjoying something' sense.
From the word’s history
From Latin fruitiō 'enjoyment'; analysable as fruit + -ion.
源自拉丁文 fruitiō「享受」，字面也像 fruit（果實）加 -ion。
組成From Latin fruitiō, 'enjoyment'. On the surface it looks like fruit + -ion. That fruit story is not the true Latin path, but English now treats the word as if plans bear fruit.
