Breadfruit \Bread"fruit`\, n. (Bot.)
   1. The fruit of a tree ({Artocarpus incisa}) found in the
      islands of the Pacific, esp. the South Sea islands. It is
      of a roundish form, from four to six or seven inches in
      diameter, and, when baked, somewhat resembles bread, and
      is eaten as food, whence the name.
      [1913 Webster]

      with large, lobed leaves. Cloth is made from the bark, and
      the timber is used for many purposes. Called also
      {breadfruit tree} and {bread tree}.
