Crossword Genius

Fruit in lemon, gone off (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogen melon

'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lemon gone off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'lemon'+'gone'='lemongone'
'lemongone' anagrammed gives 'OGEN MELON'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for ogen melon that I've seen is " Fruit".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
