Love to wander about for fruit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orange

'for fruit' is the definition.
(orange is a kind of fruit)

'love to wander' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'to wander' becomes 'range' ('range' can be a synonym of 'wander').
'o'+'range'='ORANGE'

'about' is the link.

(Other definitions for orange that I've seen before include "Royal house - fruit - colour" , "An ogre (anag.)" , "Order of the North" , "Round fruit (6)" , "network" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
