watermelon
Green-rinded summer treat
Watermelon is a large fruit with a hard green rind and sweet, juicy flesh—typically red or pink with black seeds, though seedless and yellow varieties exist.
The flesh is mostly water, making it a summer staple: We brought watermelon to the picnic.
The word also names the trailing vine that produces the fruit.
