Fruit seen in hands (6)
I believe the answer is:
pawpaw
'fruit' is the definition.
(I know that pawpaw is a fruit)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pawpaw that I've seen before include "Papaya" , "Custard apple tree" , "foul once" , "Fruit" .)
