End of week with tot being given a fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satsuma

'fruit' is the definition.
(satsuma is a kind of fruit)

'end of week with tot being given a' is the wordplay.
'end of week' becomes 'sat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tot' becomes 'sum' ('sum' can be a synonym of 'tot').
'being given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sat'+'sum'+'a'='SATSUMA'

(Other definitions for satsuma that I've seen before include "Easily peeled orange" , "A small citrus fruit" , "that is easily uncovered" , "Type of tangerine" , "Kind of mandarin orange" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
