Entering a building for fruit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangerine

'fruit' is the definition.
(tangerine is a kind of fruit)

'entering a building' is the wordplay.
'building' is an anagram indicator.
'entering'+'a'='enteringa'
'enteringa' with letters rearranged gives 'TANGERINE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tangerine that I've seen before include "Orange-type fruit" , "shade" , "something juicy being given to press" , "Variety of mandarin orange" , "Small orange" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
