Fruit found in illuminated character of Greek text (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

litchi

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

'illuminated character of greek text' is the wordplay.
'illuminated' becomes 'lit' ('lit' can be a synonym of 'illuminated').
'character of greek text' becomes 'chi'.
'lit'+'chi'='LITCHI'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for litchi that I've seen before include "Asian tree" , "Chinese tree; its fruit" , "Edible Chinese fruit" , "piece of fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
