A fruity beauty? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peach

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

'beauty?' is the definition.
('peach' can be a synonym of 'beauty')

'a fruity' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pech' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peach that I've seen before include "Strangely, this fruit might be cheap" , "Luscious fruit" , "Type of stone fruit" , "One of the items in the fruit bowl" , "Juicy fruit with yellow-pink skin and rough stone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
