Chap to leave some fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mango

'some fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)

'chap to leave' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'man' (chap can mean a man).
'to leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'man'+'go'='MANGO'

(Other definitions for mango that I've seen before include "No, Mag has the odd fruit" , "Fleshy tropical fruit" , "Ovoid edible fruit" , "Tropical fruit, its pickle" , "Type of fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
