Oily fruit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

olive

'oily fruit' is the definition.
(as in olive oil)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for olive that I've seen before include "Oil producer" , "Small green tree-fruit, nice in martini" , "Yellowy-green colour and fruit" , "It's branch is a symbol of peace" , "Green shade; its branch for peace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
