Obtain fruit in return (8)
I believe the answer is:
reappear
'return' is the definition.
(I know that return is a more specific form of the action reappear)
'obtain fruit' is the wordplay.
'obtain' becomes 'reap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'reap'+'pear'='REAPPEAR'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for reappear that I've seen before include "Turn up again" , "Come into view again" , "spring up again?" , "Be seen again" , "return" .)
