The kanji 果 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字 - keisei moji). The upper part depicts a tree 木 (ki - tree) with fruit hanging from it, and the lower part is a phonetic component, whose original form suggested a "bent bow," and which contributed the sound. The combination evokes the idea of fruit as the end product of the tree, the result.
