The answer
PRUNE
What prune means
To cut off dead or overgrown branches from a tree or plant to improve its shape and health, or to remove unnecessary items to reduce size or cost.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *prune*, borrowed from Latin *prunum*, which came from Greek *proumnē*. The Greek word itself was borrowed from a language of the Eastern Mediterranean, possibly Armenian or a Semitic source. The fruit and the verb (meaning to cut back) share this root—the verb developed later from the noun, as pruning was associated with removing branches like removing the stone from a prune.
