Morphology

fruitarian = fruit (transparent) = fruit + arian

The noun is formed by adding the productive suffix '-arian' to 'fruit' to denote a person who follows a fruit-based diet, which is inferable from the base and suffix.

Etymology

Fruitarian comes from fruit ('fruit') plus the ending -arian, like in vegetarian, which means 'a person who follows' a diet. So a fruitarian is someone who mainly eats fruit, with some nuts and seeds.
