Fruit developed from the melon? (5)
I believe the answer is:
lemon
'fruit' is the definition.
(lemon is a kind of fruit)
'from the melon?' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates an anagram (from the letters).
'melon' with letters rearranged gives 'LEMON'.
'developed' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "Leaving body" , "Sharp-tasting fruit" , "something unattractive" , "Strong yellow colour" , "Useless object" .)
