Fruit held in hand (6)
I believe the answer is:
banana
This clue is a double definition.
'fruit' is the first definition.
(banana is a kind of fruit)
'held in hand' is the second definition.
(hand can mean a bunch of bananas)
(Other definitions for banana that I've seen before include "Sub-tropical fruit" , "plant" , "Yellow fruit with slippery skin" , "Fruit item" , "Tropical yellow fruit" .)
