Go near rotten fruit (6)
I believe the answer is:
orange
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that orange is a type of fruit)
'go near rotten' is the wordplay.
'rotten' is an anagram indicator.
'go'+'near'='gonear'
'gonear' is an anagram of 'ORANGE'.
(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "stocking filler" , "Onager (anag.)" , "Name of reigning house of the Netherlands" , "Belisha beacon colour" , "Loyalist colour" .)
