'a little fruit' is the definition.
'morello' can be an answer for 'fruit' (morello is a kind of fruit). I'm not sure about the 'a little' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morello that I've seen before include "Small, dark, sour cherry" , "Type of cherry" , "Sour red fruit" , "Dark-red variety of cherry" , "Sour cherry tree" .)
