stilllifefruit
/ˈstɪlˌlaɪfˌfruːt/nounVerified NewFruit arranged in a bowl as decoration and left uneaten until it must be discarded.
The bowl is compositional — pomegranate as accent, bananas as line — and eating would ruin the picture. Stilllifefruit rotates from market to bowl to bin without passing through anyone's mouth. Dutch painters anticipated the genre; kitchens perfected it.
Etym. — still life + fruit — the bowl is literally a still life, mortal and on schedule.
