Stoned fruit adult left out of noisy bash (7)

I believe the answer is:

avocado

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

'stoned fruit' is the definition.
'avocado' can be an answer for 'fruit' (avocado is a kind of fruit). I'm unsure of the 'stoned' bit.

'adult left out of noisy bash' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'adult' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'bash' could be 'do' ('do' can be a synonym of 'bash') and 'do' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
