果实 (guǒ shí) — fruit (produced by a plant); (fig.) fruit (of labor, effort, etc.); results; gains
Definition
果实 covers both literal fruit on a plant and the figurative 'fruits of labor' — broader and more literary than the everyday 水果, which is only for eating. For abstract results, it pairs naturally with 收获.
