Fruit; soft and well-rounded (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plump

'well-rounded' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fruit soft' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'plum' (plum is a kind of fruit).
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'plum'+'p'='PLUMP'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for plump that I've seen before include "Having a full rounded shape" , "Well rounded - opt suddenly" , "Full of figure" , "Buxom, chubby" , "Pleasantly chubby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
