Crossword Genius

Fruit provided by the Spanish during dance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangelo

'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that tangelo is a fruit)

'the spanish during dance' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dance' becomes 'tango' (tango is a type of dance).
'el' inserted into 'tango' is 'TANGELO'.

'provided by' is the link.

(Other definitions for tangelo that I've seen before include "sharp cross" , "Citrus hybrid - goal net (anag)" , "Mixed fruit" , "Hybrid fruit; eat long (anag.)" , "Citrus fruit hybrid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
