I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some lop off some fruit' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'some lop off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'some'+'lop'='somelop'
'somelop' anagrammed gives 'POMELOS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
