Branch of the UN? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

olive

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

'branch' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Branch of peace ' mean 'olive' so perhaps 'branch' could also mean 'olive')

'of the un?' is the wordplay.
'of' becomes 'o''.
'the un?' becomes 'live' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'live'='OLIVE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for olive that I've seen before include "Oil-yielding tree" , "Source of edible oil" , "Green shade; its branch for peace" , "Oil-yielding fruit" , "Bitter fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
