Start to peel every single fruit (5)
I believe the answer is:
peach
'fruit' is the definition.
(type of fruit)
'start to peel every single' is the wordplay.
'start to' indicates taking the first letters.
'every single' becomes 'each' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'peel' is 'p'.
'p'+'each'='PEACH'
(Other definitions for peach that I've seen before include "Exceptionally good thing; pinkish-orange" , "TREE" , "Luscious fruit" , "One of the items in the fruit bowl" , "Juicy fruit with yellow-pink skin and rough stone" .)
