Crossword Genius

Purple and beige urn -- a potty (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aubergine

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

'beige urn a potty' is the wordplay.
'potty' indicates an anagram.
'beige'+'urn'+'a'='beigeurna'
'beigeurna' anagrammed gives 'AUBERGINE'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for aubergine that I've seen before include "Edible plant" , "Vegetarians might order this" , "Fruit of the eggplant" , "Vegetable strangely found in a burgee" , "Fruit cooked and eaten as a vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
