Spot daughter with fruit (6)
I believe the answer is:
dapple
'spot' is the definition.
(dappling is a kind of spotting)
'daughter with fruit' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fruit' becomes 'apple' (apple is a kind of fruit).
'd'+'apple'='DAPPLE'
(Other definitions for dapple that I've seen before include "Mottle" , "Spotted" , "Variegate with spots" , "Patch of colour or light" , "Mark(ed) with spots" .)
