Edible outcome (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fruit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'edible' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'outcome' is the second definition.
(fruit is a kind of outcome)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fruit that I've seen before include "Orange, lemon" , "Seed-bearing growth" , "Result of work/activity" , "Reward of activity" , "Eg, banana or apple" .)
