Figure part out of shape? Try eating this (10)
I believe the answer is:
grapefruit
'shape? try eating this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'figure part out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'figure'+'part'='figurepart'
'figurepart' anagrammed gives 'GRAPEFRUIT'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
