Left omen about fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lemon

'fruit' is the definition.
(lemon is a kind of fruit)

'left omen about' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'about' indicates an anagram.
'omen' anagrammed gives 'emon'.
'l'+'emon'='LEMON'

(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "Dab" , "very different from peach?" , "Useless object" , "Unhelpful answer" , "certainly not a plum!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
