Secondary fruits or harvests that grow or develop after the primary crop season, or rewards that come as a result of previous actions taken.
From 'after' (Old English 'æfter') combined with 'fruit' (Latin 'fructus', from 'frui' meaning 'to enjoy'). Historically used in agriculture to describe later-ripening crops.
Medieval orchardists used this term for the small autumn crop some trees produce after the main summer harvest—nature's bonus round that actually contains more sugars because the trees put less energy into fruit production.
