grapefruit

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

'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.
