Billionaire philanthropist is procuring fleshy fruit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorosis

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

'fleshy fruit' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'billionaire philanthropist is' is the wordplay.
'billionaire philanthropist' becomes 'soros' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'soros'+'is'='SOROSIS'

'procuring' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sorosis that I've seen is " fruit like the pineapple".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
