Fresh part of the course? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

green

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

'fresh' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part of the course?' is the wordplay.
'part of' becomes 'gree' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'the course?' becomes 'n'.
'gree'+'n'='GREEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for green that I've seen before include "The colour of immaturity" , "like 29 [MARTIAN] , stereotypically" , "Grassy area; naive" , "Flourishing" , "member of political party" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
