'lustrous-fruited' originates from English, specifically the compound of 'lustrous' and 'fruited', where 'lustrous' ultimately derives from Old French 'lustre' and Latin 'lustrare' meaning 'to make bright', and 'fruited' derives from Latin 'fructus' meaning 'produce, enjoyment'.

'lustrous' changed from Old French 'lustre' (via Middle English 'lustrous'), and 'fruit' evolved from Latin 'fructus' to Old French (e.g. 'fruit') and Middle English 'fruit', eventually forming the modern compound 'lustrous-fruited'.

Initially the roots meant 'to make bright' (lustrare) and 'produce/enjoyment' (fructus); over time the compound has come to mean 'shiny or glossy and bearing fruit' in modern descriptive usage.
