This noun refers to unripe figs—either late summer figs that don't mature or early figs knocked off by wind before ripening. In Revelation 6:13, it appears in cosmic catastrophe imagery: 'the stars of the sky fell to earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.' The comparison is vivid: just as violent wind strips a fig tree of immature fruit, so cosmic upheaval shakes stars from heaven. The image conveys wholesale, unstoppable collapse of the created order.
