Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed all three frozen occurrences on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target rows. The surrounding passages locate the tree in Hell, describe its fruit, assign it as food to the sinner and the deniers, and connect eating it to further torment. Definite and indefinite constructions refer to the same named infernal growth.
