Fruit: love assortment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'love assortment' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'assortment' becomes 'range' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "A rainbow colour" , "Order of the North" , "Citrus fruit; colour" , "One's pipped" , "African flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
