Flay – fruit peel (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skin

This clue is a double definition.

'flay' is the first definition.
(I know that flay is a kind of skin)

'fruit peel' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for skin that I've seen before include "Thin outer layer" , "Outer layer of, eg, apple" , "External surface" , "Fell" , "External membrane of body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
