Price rise, possible rip-off, for French fruit (6)
I believe the answer is:
cerise
'french fruit' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'price rise possible rip-off' is the wordplay.
'CERISE' is hidden within the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cerise that I've seen before include "Light red colour" , "'E cries at the colour red" , "Vivid reddish-pink" , "Bright cherry-red colour" , "Light purplish red" .)
