contrapositive (plural contrapositives)
(logic) The inverse of the converse of a given proposition.
• From a proposition, its inverse, its converse, and its contrapositive are derived as follows
• If a proposition is true then its contrapositive is, too. Thus, if the statement "If I'm Roman, then I can speak Latin" is true, then it logically follows that the statement "If I can't speak Latin, then I'm not Roman" must also be true.

Just like ordinary cherries, the coffee fruit is also a so-called stone fruit.
