This clue could be a double definition.

'left omen out' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'that's sharp' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lemon that I've seen before include "leaving bitter taste?" , "Melon (anag)" , "Melon is another fruit" , "Useless object" , "Fruit high in vitamin C" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
