Fruit: bloke gets one out (10)
I believe the answer is:
mangosteen
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that mangosteen is a fruit)
'bloke gets one out' is the wordplay.
'bloke' becomes 'man' (informal term for a man).
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'gets'+'one'='getsone'
'getsone' is an anagram of 'gosteen'.
'man'+'gosteen'='MANGOSTEEN'
(Another definition for mangosteen that I've seen is " Tropical fruit".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
