Crossword Genius

Girl in green (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

olive

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'girl' is the first definition.
(girl's name)

'green' is the second definition.
(I know that olive is a type of green)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for olive that I've seen before include "girl" , "Stoned fruit" , "Tree - shade of green" , "It's branch is a symbol of peace" , "Yellowish-green - fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
