Homegrown fruit and vegetables are ones you have grown yourself, in your own garden or on your own land, instead of buying them.
自家種的
Picture a tomato you grew yourself: the seed went into your own soil, and the thing came up there. Every use of the word is that same picture with the patch of ground made bigger — a garden, then a town, then a country, then a football club's youth team. What stays constant is the claim: this came up here, it was not brought in.
Simply home plus grown. Home traces back through Old English ham to a Germanic root for a dwelling place, and grown is the past participle of grow, so the compound says exactly what it looks like: grown at home.
就是 home + grown。home 一路回溯到古英語 hām,再往上是日耳曼語表示「住處」的字根;grown 是 grow 的過去分詞。所以這個組合字面上說的就是它看起來的意思:在家裡長出來的。
