Fruit with many seeds oddly taken to mean grape (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pomegranate

'fruit with many seeds' is the definition.
(pomegranates have lots of seeds)

'oddly taken to mean grape' is the wordplay.
'oddly taken' indicates anagramming the letters (letters taken in a strange way).
'to'+'mean'+'grape'='tomeangrape'
'tomeangrape' is an anagram of 'POMEGRANATE'.

(Other definitions for pomegranate that I've seen before include "Fruit with many seeds in edible flesh" , "fruit, please!" , "Semitropical fruit with many seeds" , "seedy stuff" , "tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
