Cashew or almond (3)

I believe the answer is:

nut

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cashew' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'almond' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for nut that I've seen before include "Vegetarian food" , "Screwball" , "Fruit with hard shell" , "Fruitcake" , "Large, hard-shelled seed" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times, the Newsday, the Universal, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday.com and the Canadiana.
