Fruit left in bond at home by European (10)
I believe the answer is:
clementine
'fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'left in bond at home by european' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bond' becomes 'cement' (cement can mean to stick or bond).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'by european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'l' inserted within 'cement' is 'clement'.
'clement'+'in'+'e'='CLEMENTINE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clementine that I've seen before include "my darling girl?" , "suits citrus production" , "was loved by Churchill" , "juicy type" , "Forty-niner's daughter; Mrs W. S. Churchill" .)
