Type of fruit of rustic origin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

citrus

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

'type of fruit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'rustic origin' is the wordplay.
'rustic' anagrams to 'CITRUS'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for citrus that I've seen before include "Fruit such orange, lemon etc." , "Tree such as lemon or lime" , "Lemon genus" , "Fruits such as oranges or lemons" , "Eg, a lemon tree" .)
