This noun can refer to late summer, the fruit-harvest season, or the ripe fruit itself—particularly the period between summer and autumn. In Revelation 18:14, it appears in a lament over Babylon's fall: 'The fruit for which your soul longed has gone from you.' The term likely means choice or ripe fruit, symbolizing luxury and indulgence. The image is of desired, abundant produce suddenly vanished—material prosperity stripped away in judgment. The word's seasonal associations (harvest abundance) heighten the tragedy of sudden loss.
