Fruit skin, we hear – or two (4)
I believe the answer is:
pear
'fruit' is the definition.
(pear is a kind of fruit)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pear that I've seen before include "Shapely fruit?" , "Pomaceous fruit" , "Fruit sounds like two of a kind" , "Conference, perhaps" , "A fruit; sounds like couple" .)
