Put to death perhaps, with uneatable part removed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stoned

I believe this is a double definition.

'put to death perhaps' is the first definition.

'with uneatable part removed' is the second definition.
(as in a stoned fruit)

(Other definitions for stoned that I've seen before include "Slangily drunk or drugged" , "Executed in Biblical way, or slangily drunk" , "Plastered" , "steeped in alcohol?" , "On a drug-induced high" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
