Eccentric party on wet embankment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weirdo

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

'eccentric' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'party on wet embankment' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do can informally mean a party).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'wet embankment' becomes 'weir' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'wet' bit.).
'do' after 'weir' is 'WEIRDO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weirdo that I've seen before include "Eccentric type" , "Informally, an odd or eccentric person" , "Person who behaves bizarrely" , "strange character" , "Way-out person" .)
