Crossword Genius

Go out together to get fruit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

date

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'go out together' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fruit' is the second definition.
(date is a kind of fruit)

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for date that I've seen before include "Stoned fruit" , "Assignation; fruit" , "sell-by, for example" , "Day, month and year" , "For example, sell by" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
