Nourishment from a citrus fruit -- not a tin to be disturbed! (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alimentation

'nourishment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a citrus fruit not a tin to be disturbed' is the wordplay.
'citrus fruit' becomes 'lime' (lime is a kind of citrus fruit).
'to be disturbed' indicates an anagram (the order of letters is disturbed).
'not'+'a'+'tin'='notatin'
'notatin' is an anagram of 'ntation'.
'a'+'lime'+'ntation'='ALIMENTATION'

'from' acts as a link.

(Another definition for alimentation that I've seen is " Nourishment".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
